Me too, though I can't follow very deeply into math equations and 
circuits. Despite my general approach of wanting to make the best of 
inexpensive mics and such, these noise discussions have alerted me to 
matters I sometimes overlook and sometimes figure I'm just stuck with, 
so I'm following them very closely.

On the other end of the spectrum, I tend to ignore certain threads here 
that get highly species specific. Still, I appreciate the wide 
diversity of this group. Thanks to all of you -- technicians, 
naturalists, academics and audio folks alike.
