letter to the editor. Caves are an extremely sensitive environment, and
should not be mined (besides, most of the cave formations lose most of
their beauty when removed from the cave environment, and some are
extremely fragile).

My point is more about what the article says and doesn't say about the
sensitivity of real caves in the real world. The mania magazine pictures
are of real caves. Mining a real cave would be akin to mining Yosemite.

Followups to lugnet.off-topic.debate if you want me to go into more
