��� While moving my many books to a new location I ran across your thesis, or 
whatever, about�use of recordings in broadcasting.�� I don't think I ever read 
this in its entirety.� Is it�worth a thorough review today in my retirement.��

My favorite posting is the 14 year old girl (WHY is she using the screen name 
"Enema"??) who got interested in vinyl when she found her grandmother's 
collection in the attic.� Although I had been playing records since I was 2 or 
3, I got my real start in collecting when I came across my father's 78s in the 
attic when I was about 8.� I was taken back to the flapper era of the roaring 
20s just like this girl is being taken back to the era of the 60s.� If this 
happens enough maybe record collecting will not die out -- although I wish this 
girl had found 78s and is being taken back to the roaring 20s!� However, 
thinking of this girl as a "vinyl fetishist" brings in a whole 'nuther meaning!
