[pct-l] No-See-Um Netting Color

[chelin at teleport.com (Sharon & Chuck Chelin)]

Good afternoon, Switchback,

I've never been in an all-white net shelter, but it probably would reject
more radiation.  However, I have found that I can more easily see out
through darker netting.  I expect an all-white net shelter would seem like
being in a bad snow storm all the time.  I'll let the brides have the white
stuff for their veils.  Someone usually leads them down the aisle so they
don't need to see where they are going.
