Due to some really bad audio in previous takes, some of the listener feedback has probably been lost to time. Hopefully Klaatu will look back in archives and be able to figure out which emails need to be re-read, but if not, and you wrote in, you may have to settle for the email response Klaatu sent you over an audio response. Don't take it personally, just email Klaatu and let him know that talking into the wrong end of his Nokia by an open window facing a busy street is a really bad idea. Please note that 4x11a is an update to 4x11 with corrected information on the function of the eXecute flag.
