I've never tried to do that. It seems to be against the spirit of Usenet. or type really really fast. That's what 'pothead' says he did! ;-) Btw ..... Some weeks ago I suggested to Tim Davies that he try to speak more slowly in his YouTube videos. His response to me? //People ask me to change the whole time but none of them have a Youtube channel and have no idea of what it takes to constantly put out videos, it's not easy but I'm not changing for people - it's who I am, you'll just have to listen faster.// *Listen faster*! I really liked that! 🙂 -- David
