Decent coverage by CNN. Tip of the hat to Kevin Glenn!

Yay Peter and Kevin! :clap:

Good job!

Loved the background hubbub of DC Grotto, for authenticity.

PS: Kevin, great voice. You should go into radio or TV! :wink:

aww thanks.. I hate the way I sound to me when I hear myself talking in a recording!

But I'm glad it came out ok. I certainly was not expecting to be suddenly interviewed by CNN when I showed up for the meeting.

Very nice! :clap:

Thanks Kevin for representing us so well! :clap:

Most people stutter all over their words when a microphone is shoved in their face. You knew your subject and is showed that you are passionate about this area of your life.

Thanks again,

She was suppose to talk to me but I am EVER SO GLAD she found Kevin instead. :big grin:

Way to go Kevin! Great job. I can't think of a better person for her to have talked to.

Got out of that one...whew! :banana_yay:

I have to say the cavers did a good job! The conjecture of human transmission came up two X, and more than a million bats affected came up once! All pure conjecture need to be thrown out in the court of public opinion. :rofl:

It was totally by accident I swear! I had no idea she was even a journalist. I thought she might be a caving-seeker; a first timer at the meeting so I got friendly with her. Next thing you know she's whipped out a mic and... I was just so worried about being misinterpreted or even edited in some way as to make me say something I didn't say.

She actually did ask me point blank if I thought the disease was spread by humans. My answer to that was not in the article.

Now you've put yourself on the spot Kevin. What was your reply? :big grin:

It is not a good sign when that question needs to be asked of a caver, but it shows why we are where we are! It is what it is! :rofl:

well I replied that absolutely that the whole darn thing was spread by cavers on purpose with our little fungus spreading machines!

Return that machine immediately, and any others you bought, they have been found to not work! A restocking fee would be ok to pay though.

I hope you just forgot to add :kidding:

There could be newbies surfing this forum, who might believe what you said. I guess I take the issue
too seriously to joke around about it much. I'll be so glad when all this WNS nonsense is cleared up once and for all and hopefully caving will
regain some normalcy.

Of course I am kidding and you all know my thoughts about it!
