General Radio Discussion / Re: Looking for a Volunteer Or Two

« on: April 10, 2021, 1951 UTC »

I've completed the task for Jan, Feb, and Mar 2021. I only corrected the Headers for the initial posting. It took about 4-5 hours for the 3 months and I did not in any way change anything in the body of the posting, but one of the side effects of changing the header to comply with the format requested by Chris S, is that a whole bunch of "Last Edit:...: Skipmuck"' will be found in the body of the initial posting. If one finds this intrusive, and wants to remove it, it can be done by opening up your posting, typing in a period or other symbol and clicking the save button. Then your own name will be there! I hope to perform this task periodically in batches of a week or so as time permits. I did correct quite a few errors regarding dates and year.....including more from my own postings than I care to admit to 

If anybody notices something I missed, please send me an HFU message and I will endeavor to correct it!
Also....if any of the ops want to take credit for a particular "UNID" posting (there are very many of these!), please contact me and I would be happy to review the thread and correct as necessary!

Hey CT-Yankee......"Nutmeg contains myristicin, a natural compound that has mind-altering effects if ingested in large doses." 
Thanks for the offer of the nutmeg brownie, but here in Massh**echusetts, such confections are legally accessible at various local "wacky marts"  I'll stick with the sugar buzz from the pecan pie I picked up for the weekend!
