[Joe & Penny Goss]

Hi Ron,
You titled your subject line well. I hope it was not a personal thingie<G> I
have noticed this myself when clients are moving in the room trying not to
make any noise but are easily spotted due to the change in pitch that their
movement causes.
The ETD does not seem to pick it up BUT I do.
