Updates to the website EuroBirdNet-Sweden;
http://www.pheromone.ekol.lu.se/Eurobirdnet.html
Erased the direct e-mail address to EBN and Fugle-nett to make it harder for spammers
to get access to our lists.
Steinar Eliassen, the Fugle-nett list-owner has also installed filter against spamming,
large pictures, sounds and annoying subscribe/unsubscribe messages. It is also upgraded
to a Listserv-maintained list now, see instructions on the web-page.
