Dear John,

A warm welcome to The Whorl which will benefit much from your learned 
presence.

However, as acting officer of etiquette I find I must refer you to articles 
32 and 27 of the Whorl Code which jointly prohibit blantant punnage and any 
libel of birds.

But, really, how could you have known?
