Thanks.

I'm attracted to activities that combine art and science. Pipe organs,
theater, music and nature recording have been my lifelong passions.
I've been a technical mentor for nature recordists for twenty years.
Where nature recordists gather, gear talk is naturally part of the
scene. I agree with you that we'd all benefit from more talk about
nature itself and fieldcraft, but I resent complaints about "excessive
gear talk." Discussion lists are driven by what the subscribers are
interested in, and what their problems are--period.
The dichotomy's never been a problem for me, but for those for whom it
is, I guess two lists is a good solution. I'll be on both.
