and we thank you, Mark, for this support.  It is an interesting behavioural
aspect of the Net, that there always seems to be someone who is immensly
annoyed by the fact that a lot of people are having pleasure talking about
some subject, which they themselve find boring, uninteresting or not up to
their standards.  This annoyance eventually gets up to such a point that the
person goes through a series of multiple duplications, suddenly becoming
an authoritative "We" who thinks it is its duty to informate the babbling
crowd about what it should do and how it should do it.

Kelly:
    We are fully aware that sound tracing is a known topic one of us being
    an architect, another a physicist and the third a sound engineer (This
    sounds like the beginning of some joke).  And as you said, there is a
    lot of money in this field, and that also mean that very little is
    publicated. 

    The reason why we decided to check the Net for this subject is simply
    because we think that it is a perfect database: human driven.  We also
    think that innocent discussion is quite enjoyable and often fruitful.
