OK, this discussion is bringing me out of the closet. I don't take many
opportunities to go out and record. I own a small business that makes
hydrophones and I watch a few of these groups that can be related to the
use of our products. Besides having a sincere interest, I occasionally
glean a bit of knowledge or perspective from existing and prospective
customers. Because of my commercial interest, I feel as though my
opinions are obviously biased and could affect the integrity of certain
conversations. So I pretty much just read and be quiet. You guys are
the experts anyway.
But, Volker, I'd like to offer my support to your wisdom. Thank you,
Volker, Bernie, and the rest for you for efforts to give a few others,
or the masses--whatever your reach--, some insight into what might need
preservation. Keep up the work!
Of course, this doesn't mean that we could not be involved in protecting
the natural world in other ways. Worthwhile ideas are the biggest
challenge.
Regards, Robb
