My email program has developed a skip a skip a skip a skip a skip...
I'll try reading it backwards.

By golly, it's gone!

I used to record records with skips by waiting until the needle was near 
it, then blowing gently against the side of the arm.
It's also pretty easy to edit skips out that get through.

How about the character on YouTube who claims he can get rid of record 
noise by running his records backwards once. I don't know it I like the 
idea of using my needle to scrape a groove clean.
