We'll have a look at that. Personally, I mark all my shows as "explicit" because I'm going with the meaning from the OED: "Stated clearly and in detail, leaving no room for confusion or doubt". Obviously they are not "clean" because I say "Um" a lot and tend to breathe into the microphone. I certainly strive to be explicit in all I say, but that's just me. ;-) Dave _______________________________________________ Hpr mailing list [email protected] http://hackerpublicradio.org/mailman/listinfo/hpr_hackerpublicradio.org
