Hey Bernie,
perhaps a side note question related to terminology. I know in your own wri=
ting you prefer the term 'anthrophony', whereas elsewhere folks use 'anthro=
pogenic noise.'
How do you (or do you?) distinguish between the two?
I'm currently working on a thesis paper where I plan to use your primary so=
urces, and want to make sure that I use the proper terminology.
thanks!
