The net nanny responses by the likes of Dave fullstop, aka Andy
mabbett, outnumber the original posts by about 15/1. So the nannies
win the KF accolade! Only they're too stupid to know it!

Malcolm Ogilvie of Malcolm@indaal.demon.co.uk on the suggestion he
copied Konters book.


" You are making yourself look foolish. The book on Grebes by Andre 
Konter that was published in 2001 was entitled 'Grebes of OUR World'. 
My book, published only this month, is entitled 'Grebes of THE World', 
and as such is entirely different. The similarity of the front covers 
is quite coincidental. My book IS the first ever devoted to Grebes. 

Malcolm Ogilivie."

    ...............................................

KONTER (Andre) - Grebes of our World. Visiting all Species on Five 
Continents - 2001, 8vo. 187pp. Colour photographs, line drawings.  A 
description of the 22 species of grebes, their natural history, ecology 
and behaviour.

Grebes of the World 
Malcolm Ogilvie 
The book starts with an authoritative introduction on the origin, 
evolution, distribution, physiology and behaviour of grebes, followed by 
accounts of each of the 22 species 


>Malcolm it looks as though Konter might dispute that statement!

"Yes, indeed, what I said was wrong and I apologise to Andre Konter, 


Malcolm Ogilvie"
