I've been surfing the DDF sea for a while now and am yet to find a thread that deals with a topic so close to my heart. Laining is a finely honed art that must be discussed amongst our fellow brethren. I open the floor to those that would like to discuss the following topics:
1) Shinuy Nuschyos; there are many variances amongst different prints of chumashim regarding trop, nekudos, sof aliyos and rarely, spelling.
2) Corrections/mistakes; as a baal koreh for many years there at many times that I come across a mistake that is unfortunately quite common.
3) Halochos/Minhagim; what do you do when you find a mistake on the Torah? What makes the sefer possul? Tallis when you lain? do you use a yad?
4) I'm not sure about this but maybe we can coordinate jobs in shuls if they are available. I know personally that I'm asked many times if I could lain somewhere but I'm already booked. This may be a good place to share those jobs.
5) Stories and anecdotes; interesting places you've lained, interesting Torah's you have lained from.
