Hmmph, that's annoying. Amazing how long these things go before someone points it out. Thanks for that.

I will replace the file today.

EDIT: I have fixed this in the archive. I don't have a clue about the podcast side of things, so I have stickied this thread and hope someone else will come along and sort that out.

Oh good! Maybe I fixed it by accident.

Seems so.

BTW I do not know if the .ogg file is correct or not since my computer and I do not know what to do with that format. MC

The ogg should be fine, as it is derived automatically from the 128 kbps file. There are some players like Winamp, VLC media player and Foobar2000 which will play ogg vorbis files (which are an open source format).

Thanks again for drawing our attention to this.

I'm glad it's fixed because I wanted to say something without getting in the way of serious business.

Does this title sound like a prototype spam email subject to anyone else? Or is it just me?

Yep, Whitman was a bit ahead of his time (May 31, 1819 – March 26, 1892 per Wikipedia):

“Come, said my soul,
Such verses for my Body let us write,” - Leaves of Grass

http://www.gutenberg.org/files/1322/1322-h/1322-h.htm#2H_4_0054

“This book is notable for its delight in and praise of the senses during a time when such candid displays were considered immoral. – Wikipedia

Would no doubt have been blocked by both spam filters and parental controls.

PS I should have put “EDIT:” in my edited first post. -- I see the software marks it as edited but I guess pointing out the actual change is a manual operation. Probably too OCD even for me to go edit again to add that.
