Gary, I'm so sorry if it sounded as if I was snapping at you. I was tired and frustrated about something else last night. But I honestly had become puzzled as to why a couple of people were answering me after I asked just one kind of question with so much basic information about CD/R recording that I hadn't asked anything about. I kept politely saying thanks, I knew that but I'm sure others will appreciate this, etc., but no one seemed to see that I was saying I knew everything but the answer to the particular question that I was asking. I just got annoyed after this kept happening.
anyway, as before, I'm sure someone benefited by hearing about all this stuff for the first time, just as I did only some weeks ago on this list, when I was actually asking those questions and receiving instruction. Thanks again, and sorry if I was rude. Daniel ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gary Wood" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.
