What criteria do cable companies use to determine where in the volume is the best stereo? It has to do if you put your audio through the digital cable box and the volume through that. Its pretty much different on each model of cable box.

Kurt – I have no idea what Glenn is talking about here, but I just typed it in.

Dear Oh World Traveler Shaun, While watching the BBC news one day last week, I caught the tail end of a story involving something called “twitchers”. Knowing that you have visited, and even resided for a time in that totally boffo country, I was wondering if you would know exactly what the heck the newscaster was refering to. Is it some new disease we must all be on our guard against? Should I begin to “twitch” do I run to the doctor a “twitch shot”. Or is this perhaps a new dance craze, a new way of walking……what? I depend on your expertise and awesome brain power to clear this up for me. My undying gratitude!
