You mean the lack of a question mark? (Don't tell Keith; he'll regret it every day of his life from now on if he finds out.)

Maybe Keith believes the superstition about not using question marks in movie titles, and has extended it to podcast show titles as well.

Audacity Beta: 1.3.2 comes with a click and pop repair filter.

This new effect will fix a small pop or click in an audio track by smoothly interpolating the damaged audio samples. It is designed to fix very short glitches, not major distortion or background noise. It can fix minor clipping.

it installs as a separate program, so maybe you could just use it to process the sound file when their are clicks but not use it to record the show itself.

Tanks for the birthday wishes! It was so sweet! I hope you guys have a blast on CHemda's birthday!

Btw, the baby onesie I sent for Jeff and Gina. It just dawned on me that you probably didn't see the note on the packing slip.

I don't think so. You're seeing "what", and automatically thinking of a question: "What's so funny?"

But you can also use it in other ways, such as:
"What's so funny about correcting people's grammar, is that they don't give a shit."

"jwdd27 thinks people read his posts, that's what's so funny."

I think KATG are making a statement, "This is what is so funny".

Or maybe he just missed a question mark off.

That's true. However, I also noticed that the "so" in the title is not capitalized. "So" is neither a preposition nor article, therefore, it deserves to be capitalized in titles.

P.S. I'm no grammar snob or anything, I actually don't give a shit if there's an error in the title. When I noticed TWO grammar errors, I had the sudden urge to make a post about it. I don't know why, seeing that I rarely post on the forum.
