[BC] Getting the Commercials on

[Dale Adkins]

I just read Tom's reply to my "what's splicing" post and I am not sure 
whether
he took it seriously. or whether HE is pulling MY chain.  Tom doesn't know 
me
personally so he may not have understood that my question was "tongue in 
cheek".
My wife always says I should be more serious.
But if I had such a detailed instruction on splicing when I first spliced 
back in 1961
life would have been easier. I had to learn by trial and error.
Sorry, Tom.  (But I did get a good chuckle.)
