----- alas, only too well known from a Belgian video clip. We only provided a 
leap second this change from 2005-2006, but it seems to have reversed 
terribly. It is not yet the season for this kind of information. If you use 
citation analysis, you will discover that it is Dr. I. Lirpa who is the real 
originator of this type of information. He has variously found the effect in 
Colombian pottery, Rembrandt paintings (vibrations in the tip of the brush as 
opposed to the bass response of the canvas), and apparently now in Pompei as 
well. I am not sure that you would really want to work in this type of 
phoneyrensic audio.

Kind regards,

----- this is a very surprising finding for two reasons: first of all, the 
making of pots is not a laughing matter.

Secondly, it is much too early in the year for information of this type - it
is not spring yet. Usually the scientist involved is Dr. I Lirpa.

Kind regards,
