    Done. :)  A little update on the whole thing. Believe it or not, our
    friendly Elist robot 'fessed up to an error on it's part. A MOD UPD
    was done, acknowledged, and then overlooked when the Elist was
    updated.
    Now..... I'm not the original moderator, but I've lurked here for
    quite some time. So let's clear up a few points. When this echo
    originated, it was part of the Broadcasters Net. In essence,
    PRO_AUDIO was broadcast oriented. Sound re-inforcement and
    audiophile topics were also accepted. Some of us were mobile DJ's
    and that type of discussion was also permitted. Now... the question
    of car audio. From time to time, questions pertaining to car audio
    would pop up. Discussion of car audio has always been discouraged.
    Myself, I fail to see how the interior of a motor vehicle could lend
    itself to quality sound. Thus... it is now time to put an end to the
    "snot" messages regarding the state of car audio. A couple more
    requests. PRO_AUDIO has always been a "real name" conference. To our
    friends in Quebec, regrettably, English is the required language in
    this echo.
Best Regards,
           Ray
