Your comments & opinions are most appreciated, Alan, but to call this tape
"unlistenable/unviewable" is a bit much.  I'd be the first to complain if it was
as bad as you state....but it's not.

You must have loads of free time.

Boy, the clerks at that store must *love* to see you walk in.

But the tape's not like that.  Why would you lie to us & say it's as bad as that
when it really isn't?

I'm sure you're very proud of yourself for discovering the speed-up.  And letting 
us know about it is the right thing to do.  But to grossly exaggerate & call the
tape "unlistenable/unviewable," just because you discovered a speed-up, is wrong.

Your haughty nature leads us to believe that perhaps only *your* super-powers
were able to discover something that the "masses" have missed.  I've got 20+
years of Who collecting/listening under my belt now, so don't insult me like that.

The tape is fine & *does not* sound like Alvin & the Chipmunks.
