A clean sweep

I’d subconsciously thought that graffiti is mainly the work of disaffected, disadvantaged youth, and is difficult to remove. Seems I was wrong, on both counts. If the first places the police target in a crackdown on the taggers are in the more affluent estates of North Swindon, and a man in his seventies can keep twenty bus shelters clean of graffiti, then all, in the fight against the taggers, is not as it seems.

No loud chirping — your warblings should always be calm and polite.
No pecking — personal attacks should be avoided.
No singing to a different tune — your warblings should always be relevant to the posting you are warbling on.
No stealing of eggs — warblings whose main purpose is to point to webpages elsewhere without themselves adding to the discussion are not welcome.
No cuckoo-like behaviour — use your own identity, don’t try to pass yourself off as someone else.

Warblings and warblers that do not conform to the above policy may be ejected from the nest without warning.
