Actually just to be clear myself. I didn't say it was crap tech talk. I s=
aid at least I was posting a recording instead of talking about the latest =
consumer crap recorder, and I then stated that I didn't mind the tech talk.=
I find it useful and I participate in it occasionally. I do apologize if=
I reacted strongly as well, but I was just trying to make a point. I regu=
larly post recordings here and truly enjoy it when others do as well.
