[BC] October and the new server

[Barry Mishkind]

Howdy folks!

I'm back from the Fall NAB and a nice visit to NYC. Special thanks to 
Mike Erickson and Bruce Schiller of CBS, and Rodney Belizaire at WQXR 
for their kind hospitality. Call it a busman's holiday, but it was 
nice to see some old friends, and to meet Brew for the first time in person.

It was also nice to see a number of folks at the NAB show itself. 
I've said some more in the editorial on <http://www.thebdr.net/>the 
BDR If you haven't seen it, or subscribed for the weekly reminder, 
please do so - <http://www.thebdr.net/>it only takes a moment.

OCTOBER ITEMS:

1. We are moving to a newer/faster server machine tonight. Should not 
be a major issue. But, there might be some delays later tonight.

2. We've had a few new subscribers this month, and it is worth 
explaining again WHY we have a quote counter, which rejects any post 
(over 20 lines) with over 80% quotes (or after the line "original message").

    * EVERY WEEK, I get at least three to five "mistakes" where 
someone hits "Reply" by mistake and then sends a Digest right back to 
the list. This would normally generate another Digest on the spot. By 
catching these, we prevent the wasted input to your inbox.

3. The BDR has continued to grow, although it has been a bit slow in 
the past week. Look for a bunch of new articles over the next seven 
days.  Can I ask you to tell your friends and co-workers about the 
BDR?  Thanks!

4. oldradio.com and theBDR.net may have some slight glitches after 
the move, so if you see one, please let me know. Again, my thanks.

5. Finally, we do appreciate very much the support from 
<http://www.systemsstore.com/>SystemsStore and 
<http://www.bwbroadcast.com/>Broadcast Warehouse. They help pay for 
the costs of running the server. If you have the opportunity, ask 
them for a quote or buy something. Or, let them know you appreciate 
they are supporting the lists.

... and now back to your regularly scheduled October.

Thanks for being part of the Broadcast community.
