OK, I'm still in the "ask all the stupid questions" phase of considering the
use of one of these nets. My paranoia about using it here on the UAH campus
is the campus police; even if I warned them I'm installing a net in the
creek for a while they'd drive up with the polite version of "what the hell
are you doing?". Summer is kinda slow...
