Given the widespread problems caused by House Sparrows, NABS advises that it is the responsibility of every nest box trail operator to ensure that no House Sparrows fledge from their boxes.

 Sparrow
Sparrow has problems with clarity in his written communications, but if I understand him correctly, he is saying that Exodus 12:40 and the genealogical record, but of course, don't match, so if they don't match there is a discrepancy in what Exodus 12:40 and the genealogical record say.
Sparrow's hypocrisy is underscored by the fact that he and I debated this issue at length in the old alt.bible.errancy forum, so he knows that our exchanges included references to the passages that he now accuses me of avoiding.
Sparrow's entry into the discussions of biblical discrepancies began with post 4731 in which he claimed that, long before any of us had been born, apologists like John Haley had resolved the discrepancies we were debating.

 David Butcher: Corbin Motors Sparrow #95 Corbin Sparrow Electric Car Diary
Several people on the E-groups Sparrow Newsgroup wrote to tell me that X10 modules sometimes turn on spontaneously due to interference (or who knows what?) so I wrote a small "keep dead" program to periodically send commands to turn the charger off - unless of course there is a request to have it on.
