Why, because sometimes someone disagrees with you? It's a discussion
group, Walt! Challenges wake us up and keep us on our toes.

You're a willing participant here, Walt, not a victim. Cut the "have to" cr=
ap.

Why in God's green earth do you think anybody wants you to not
express your valuable opinions?

As an active member I'm insulted. This is one of the best places to
get advice about nature recording, and your contributions have been
an important part of the value. I wish you'd quit whining and get on
with business.

p.s. technical note: this post I'm replying to, and others from you
lately, have contained two "from:" lines in the heading, yours first
and then another subscribers, perhaps the person to whom your message
was replying. This produces unpredictable results, like Eudora
labeling your message as from someone else! Strange, I wonder how
that happens.
