Hi John,

I never said that Michael's recording was not relevant to this group. Micha=
el presented his recording to the group not as a nature sound recording but=
 as a recording of a barn roof. Chris posed his (now retracted) perspective=
 that it was not a nature sound recording. Michael dismissed Chris by sayin=
g that at least his recording is better than all the tech "crap" talk.  My =
statement that it is not a nature sound recording, along with all I am writ=
ing now, might as well be retracted too, because this is all too knit-picky=
 to put any more thought into.
