To be really competent, though, you need to have learnt it under pressure, like in a BBC news room; and to have done fine music editing as well (guess where I worked around 1969-70).
As for cassettes, they could be good enough to supply the master recording for an LP. A friend of mine recorded a couple of LPs on a Sony WM-D6C cassette machine, and I contributed a track to a CD from my identical one.

He does it for clarity, and because some people asked for that when we started more active moderation in this forum. I choose not to do it (usually), but hope that my wording brings sufficient clarity in itself.
--- Quote from: Method of Madness on 15 Apr 2011, 10:07 ---I didn't see how crazy the forum got, but since massive shifts like that happen so rarely, maybe it's not a horrible thing that the forum reacts when they do occur.

Actually, Jeph had been muttering (in the private admin/mod forum) about possibly closing down the QC Discussion Forum for a couple of years before last autumn's blow-up - that's how much he'd got to dislike it, and that's why the rehabilitation process will take a long time to be fully effective.

This post is not meant to be taken seriously.

You're channeling Pintsize again, aren't you?
EDIT: Oh, and according to the count on the Wiki, it's Faye, Marten, Dora, Hannelore, Pintsize and Steve.

People have also "seen her" in a few other strips outside of the Yelling Bird Canon strips......here, and here.

--- Quote from: Forum rules ---And finally, shipping and portmanteau names. You don't do it in real life (I hope!); it fails to meet the criteria I mentioned under "QC" and "Discussion" above; it fails for the reasons given in the quote just given. Please don't do it!

Take this seriously.

Not being snarky here...I honestly don't understand what the above means? Could you translate please? :?

Read the two locked sticky threads at the top of this (sub-)forum. The rules are laid out there (and the main forum rules linked to) with extensive discussion and elucidation, including a couple of comments from Jeph himself.

Mind explaining this then?

I think what Method of Madness meant was that the (/moderator) thing kinda detracts from the seriousness of when a moderator steps in. I'm not telling you guys what to do, but on several other forums I'm on, I've seen the moderators have a little comment in their signature along the lines of "I'm a moderator, when I need to, I use this colour to show I'm being serious."
It grabs a forumite's attention, and is a visual reminder that the mods are watching the forums. And it does get the point across.
