[QuadList] Feb. 2010 is the lists' most active month, ever/Member Count/Guidelines

[Ted Langdell]

So far this month, 388 messages not counting this one, beating July,  
2009's 329 messages.

Looks like 93 members subscribed as of this morning.

We welcome former Ampex'er Bill Herzog to the group, among a number of  
other recent joiners.

Hope you're all enjoying the posts.

The discussions this month have been rather wide ranging, and as long  
as they can be tied to Quad in some way, we're generally OK with that.

If things get too far afield for your taste or there's a post or  
thread you object to, please let me know off-list so I can address it  
with the poster directly.

To restate for everyone's benefit:

This mailing list is focused on 2" Quadruplex Videotape:
Recorders, Recording, Playback, Maintenance, Equipment Design and Tape  
Preservation, and the Preservation of Knowledge about these subjects  
so that knowledge can be used by new people to preserve the content  
contained on Quad tapes.

Historical stories or personal recollections are welcome!

They help create a context for Quad's use in a variety of  
environments, and help preserve the knowledge that's likely stored  
only in your mind.  Please put the word "Story" at the beginning of  
the subject line.

Change subject lines to fit the reply you're about to make.  It makes  
it easier to find within your e-mail box, in the archives, and more  
easily via Google and other search engines.

Photos or attachments up to 1MB in size can be sent directly to the  
list.  Files larger than that get held up for my review, since we  
don't want to have huge files clogging members' mailboxes unexpectedly.

Some files—especially video clips—are better posted on member's  
webspace (or YouTube) and then linked to via a message to the list.

If members have manuals they've scanned and wish to have preserved and  
available on the Quadvideotapegroup.com website, please let me know.  
I'll work with you to receive them, and then ask for the appropriate  
permissions from potential copyright holders.

We're doing that for a set of AVR-2 schematics recently sent by a  
member in Australia.

Currently in Philadelphia, where we've discovered another Quad user  
actively transferring tape with a TR-600, TR-70( ) (IIRC) and  
VR-1200.  Hope to see David Nichols on the list soon.

Heading east and south from here... hoping to see Steve Greene and  
Sara Cunningham at NARA, Steve Nease and James Snyder at NAVCC in the  
next few days.

Now back to our normal programming, already in progress.
