I have shared no audio with this group, so I certainly have not misled anyo=
ne. I wonder, then, what your motive is for directing this post pointedly a=
t me, through the constant use of the second person pronoun. Why are you ac=
cusing and chastising me for something I have never done?

Tangentially, I must say I have no problem with "offending" at least some o=
f the listeners some of the time. I wouldn't be much of an artist if my wor=
k fell entirely within normative grounds. But then again, I don't label any=
thing I do as "nature recording", and so do not fall within the range of yo=
ur criticism.
