Greg is, of course, right, and I must say, I feel so privileged to get to
know so many of you recordists from Australia on this group - all generous=
to a fault, and full of lovely tales of nature.
My condolences to all.
I cannot begin get my typing fingers to express what I feel about such
cowardly acts of xenophobic paranoia . . . but the point is we are thinking=
about you all, your altered lives and likely the immediate effects on your=
close friends or family.
