Fellas, take a step back for a second...
Ptempo - that breathing is Listenguys being excited about making his first catch, but once he calms down and settles in to listen, it gets better. There are long gaps in the action (as is the norm with sounds recorded in an uncontroled environment), but when the action is there, it's good stuff. If you still have a copy of the file, spend a bit more time with it and you'll probably hear what I'm talking about.
Listenguys - trust me on this, the critique just seemd overly dismissive/harsh because it was your own post. People with a solid track record of posting do get put first around here, but I guaranty you that Yeppie would jump to your defence equally quickly once you're a few more posts along the line. Honestly, he's a good dude who doesn't do anything lightly. Don't forget that there's also a language barrier to take into account. If Yeppie ever comes over as tactless, more often than not it's just the German-to-English translation fucking him over.
Futheas on the other hand, our other silent overlord, he's different. Futheas is pure evil, and is to be feared...
Now, who's up for a group hug?
