I stayed up late last night coaxing the downloads through, thanks for
trying. Good luck in the discussion, you are going to need it. I won't
comment at this point on them as I have only done a quick listen so far.
And I'm about to be off on another long ride.

This is especially so when the group gives things that really do make a
major difference in nature recording no or little notice or value. The
group priorities are way out of whack. Makes me wonder if there is a
nature recordist's group around I can join.
