I am beginning to wonder, John, why you are bothering to transcribe for FreeBMD, when all you appear to do is knock it. If you had had the idea and done all the work in the first place to set up a project like this then you could have done so and arranged it to suit your own tastes. You, don't appear to have done, so stop knocking what is essentially an EXCELLENT project and let those that had the original vision do it their way. They have their reasons which they keep explaining, but people like you don't seem to take any notice. The time you spend endlessly discussing things on the lists could be far more usefully spent transcribing. As could the time the rest of us spend reading your postings!

Hear Hear!!! a protocol has been established for the project - love it or leave it. knockers can start their own project with your own rules or be part of this one as it is..
