I suspect this is where the BS on BP meets the tarmac. I hope we can help Larry to succeed in his campaign. In the tactics of dealing with perservation issues day-to-day I think we need to see through the language being used against the interests of conservation/preservation. As well as simply understanding the language used against us as individuals. E-mail is word intensive, regardless of the topic. It would be interesting to consider the vocabulary used by the opposition... just as there is a vocabulary we share in duscussion of the historic built-environment.. I'm sure we are all having our singular travails with verbal opposition and share the need to have tools with which to deal with the information flak. ][<en
