[QuadList] Deck degaussing--What's the current practice among QuadList users?

[Ted Langdell]

Chris, 

Sounds like you're saying that its better to invest the relatively short amount of time to degauss the tape path often rather than to have un-repairable damage to archive or customer tape's content that can't be replaced or restored.

What is the current practice among our QuadList users?

And now, it is even more critical in the transfer business.  I can see where this would apply in the broadcast station where tape gets reused a lot.  We would have to eat the time and tape costs to do any work over that was damaged in this method.  So our standards were different than many other places.
