Well, yeah, I must say that Qalam has turned into a nest of
chatterboxes, lately! :-)

In terms of number of posts, January 2003 could soon outdo November
2001 and become the new record month.

Recently, I have been quite fastidious about topicality, so I don't
want to insist again now. I also understand that it is not always
easy to draw the line.

However, Peter is right saying that a question about phonetics, or
any other facet of linguistics, can be dealt with much better in
forums dedicated to those fields, or in a wide-spectrum linguistic
newsgroup such as <sci.lang>.
