  4. I am the “anonymous” User Voice feedbacker. First of all, thanks for the improved post structure. Much better now.
    Second, I found the User Voice service a little bit awkward. My intention was not to be anonymous, but the system required a registration in order to “post the feedback”. Actually, I was not sure my comment went through. Think I commented (at FiR or Shel’s blog) on this. In particular that many of us are quite “registration fatigue”, and appreciate any services that also accepts input (incuding personal information) without a formal registration procedure. Furthermore, I was, and still is, oonfused about the “voting”. User Voice wanted me to vote on my own input. Strange.
    And, as always, keep up the great work.

  5. The quality of your podcast is terrific and you were on different ends of the world. I have recorded multiple speakers in multiple locations and find that the quality of the recording is poor. How do you do it?
