I would be really, really grateful if people didn't keep on about
this. Despite what has been said here recently, I did not make the
recording to be distributed among RAO folks or to be used to batter
Arnii over the head at every opportunity. I made it because Arnii
accused me of abusing his daughter--which I did not do--and I wanted
him to admit it, which he does in a roundabout way. It rubbed me up
the wrong way to be accused of doing what he said I had done, and that
is the only reason why I did what I did. It is not illegal to record
phone conversations in this country so long as the equipment does not
connect directly to someone else's phone line.

I gave the recording to George because he asked for it and I trusted
him. He did ask if he could pass it on to a few trusted friends, and I
said that would be fine but I wanted to know who they were and not
have the recording distributed freely. I now have no idea who has the
recording, and I am EXTREMELY ANGRY this has happened.

You tell 'em Dev!

BTW, I have a copy of it but I'll be happy to delete it if you'd like.
For the record, it was never shared with anyone else, per
instructions. However, I'll have to reserve the right to use the
phrase "Bull****, bull****,bull****" and "dumping garbage on the lawn"
*with* impunity. Sorry, it's part of the RAO lexicon now.

Finally, I took some shots the other night of a singer friend of mine,
and I used 3200 ISO on some fairly low light shots. I'm amazed that
it's almost impossible to tell at web viewing sizes. Obviously, if you
veiw at full size, the noise is definitely strong, but it's still not
all that bad. At 900X600, you just can't tell that it's such a high
ISO, at least in the shots that I took. I'll need to send you one as
an example. I'm guessing that they might make great prints up to about
6X9 without ANY noise reduction.

Now, back to your regular program...
