    I believe, my good sir, that JayFarrar's first post on the recorder thread was sarcasm in itself. He wasn't actually serious. I would hope and assume you know this already, but after seeing how far you've taken it, felt like it would be a good idea to clear this up myself.

    Lordy I forgot the sarcasm font that day.
    Not only do I tape record every interview. I transcribe them, save the transcription and then also digitally archive the recording.
    With what I write, I get sued if I get something wrong, so I'm what you call careful.
    Edit: Thanks Eagleboy, whomever you are
     
  3. Well the joke's on me ... maybe it's cuz I knew a reporter who did the exact same thing you described and didn't see the problem with it until s/he lost their career.

    I don't believe in anonymity, but understand those who do. Your call, not mine.
    I also believe in telling it like it us (or at least how I see it), though ALL your cards don't have to be on the table.
    It's unfortunate that others can't handle one's perspective on the truth (hello bitter cold state!).

    Better stop lurking in my shrubbery, 68. The restraining order is still in effect.

    Mr./Ms. 68, O learned one, could you please deign to share some of your precious keystrokes with us once more, to tell us what one or both of the two 20,000-post people on this board did that was remotely stalking-like on this thread. There were a few 10,000-post/1,000-post people who also hijacked this thread.
