SCHNAUBER'S RESPONSE

[Mark Walker]

No offense, Hans, I'm sure you are not consciously trying to _mislead_ anyone,
but I can't help but be polarized by the somewhat political tone of your
message(s).  Maybe I have a problem with any grassroots conservation group
which aspires to _Federationhood_.  I just can't, for the life of me, accept
that conservation is your only goal here.  If you were out working 60 hours a
week with your sleeves rolled up, restoring habitat or nurturing larvae, then
maybe I (and others) would come by the hundreds to give you a hand.  But as
soon as you pick up the megaphone, the whole thing starts to smell foul.

Sorry.  This is just how I feel.

Mark Walker.
