I'm surprised that all of the options had some answers, and that only 10% have correct answers. The griping seems to be coming from those looking to bash the QotD, but there are some that will rip a QotD apart that are saying it was good (like Hugo). Just ignoring the griping...

So, what did you'll think of the QotD? I'm surprised that all of the options had some answers, and that only 10% have correct answers. The griping seems to be coming from those looking to bash the QotD, but there are some that will rip a QotD apart that are saying it was good (like Hugo). Just ignoring the griping...
Let me sum up my thoughts on today's question of the day.
It is a GREAT QOD... made many, many people think and think carefully. To plumb the depths of their knowledge and for many, perhaps far too many, to learn something new. Thus meeting the objectives of the QOD namely to check what you do know and / or teach you something new.

Yup - I've noticed. Just ignoring him now. He's the only one griping.

It looks to me like he's trying to justify to himself that he's right and you're wrong. Seen him do that on lots of other QotD too.

Thanks Ron - I think you summarized it very well. I did deliberately throw myths in there to try to trip up people - figured it would be a good way to help people learn. I guess I'm just surprised at the only 10% correct answers. Truth be told, I didn't even know about the version store one month ago - learned about it with the MCM videos.

Yep. I kinda get tired of it/him. But when folks that legitimately bash the QotD (like Hugo) say it was good and that they learned something, it makes it easier to ignore the whining.
BTW, thanks for proofing it for me!

Well, I didn't know about the version store until I tried your question and am reading about it now, so thanks!

I got my parents copies of The Shadow radio show for their anniversary many years back. They loved it. It was one of those things they'd listen to when they were kids.Apparently a lot of that stuff is available in CD collections if you know where to look.
www.signals.com has a lot of them through PBS, or ask my dad 😛 he trolls the library of congress a lot too.
Me, I've actually PLAYED with the Jimmy Dorsey band. (I'm ignoring the fact that Jimmy wasn't leading it, but the guy taking the lead actually did tour with him)
Now I have to go listen to some Dizzy...

What do you play?
It annoys me sometimes that the Glenn Miller Orchestra and the Jimmy Dorsey band still tour even though the bandleaders are long dead. But I suppose taking the name of the actual bandleader would cut attendance, or at least they think it would, and if they aren't creating any new tunes or arrangements then I guess there's no point in renaming the band.

Trombone, although I'm out of practice now.
Popped in my Dizzy CD, remembered that I got to play with Clark Terry when I was in school, that was amazing. And then some scumbag stole his flugel! luckily we found it in a pawn shop down the street a week or so later, but he lost his case.

Wayne, it was a good question (should I be smug that I got it right, or just ... nah ... I'll be smug about it).
San's making the classical mistake of thinking that guards/audits are automatically self-monitoring if the thing they monitor is guarded/audited. Or he's got his ego tied up in the answer he gave. Either case is possible.

I was hoping to come, but the timing was bad. If it were 2-3 weeks later, I'd be there. I hope to come in the fall, depending on dates.
