[MR] 12th night audibility

[Kathy Grimes]

As one from the canton that was putting it on. You're welcome. But
that's also why I didn't hop in front to hear.

I guess nobody is going to post here and say I'm foolish and they
believe that it's ok to talk during court. But to me, that was the
biggest problem. The court that was held after feast, I did stand close.
The person that I shushed was in the 2nd row of tables and was talking
in a "normal" voice. Still rude no matter how you slice it.

However, I'm also glad the question of the mic has been answered. It's
been something that I've been wondering about for many many many years.

Oh and I do totally respect the Hard job that the Royals do. I'm
thankful that they do it because it make this "hobby" of mine all the
more fun.
