One thing I noticed is that the moderator for recording.org is the founder
of RealTraps.com. I don't know if there is a conflict there or not but at
least it was disclosed on the realtraps.com web site.

make more sense than the foam solutions and seem to be more "affordable".

Thanks to all for the tips and comments.
