Nice, ......but NSA? Is Gordon changing things again? *toungeincheek*

The National Speleological Association, with more than 11,000 members, has cooperated with efforts to save the bats. The group launched a fund drive to help WNS researchers and provides instructions on its website how to decontaminate caving gear.

I'm not 100% certain, but I think the Pocahontas Times has revised their website with an edited article.

Anyway, it doesn't include the "good" statements by Jack Wallace.

Or maybe I have this article confused with another article.

I just read the article online. It was well written and fairly accurate (except for getting NSS wrong and perhaps the % of death rate of infected bats might be a little low ). It's the first article I've read that has accurately portrayed the WNS situation and how it might be spread.

Here's a scan of the dead-tree version; I also thought I'd read a refreshingly-sane quote, but it must have been from a different WV newspaper. I don't see anything which has obviously been edited out of the online version.
