Would it be possible to only record those who wish to be recorded, and turn the recorder mechanism off when those who do not wish to be recorded are at the mic?

I can't participate now, because my home computer is on the fritz, but if I could, it wouldn't bother me at all to be recorded. But I understand that others feel differently, and that must be respected -- it would be a shame to lose some people who do NOT wish to be recorded just because others do. We should be able to respect everyone's wishes. Am I right? Am I right?
