My "condescending toward" remark was not directed at coral scientists, but
rather at the diving industry. You won't get them on board by talking down
to them, or just by saying the same old things louder.

Dear Listers,
Just for clarification, my characterization of coral scientists as "an
odd
bunch"
was simply a clumsy attempt at humor. It was not representative of my
true
opinion of this community, nor was I meaning to sound condescending. I
view
marine scientists with great respect and want nothing more than to
encourage
my industry to react responsibly to what the great body of your
collective
work
on coral reef ecology is disclosing.
Sincere regards,
Steve
