SUMMARY

The forum discussion revolves around a logic riddle involving a tape recorder and a murder mystery. The key conclusion is that the police determined it was a murder rather than a suicide because the tape recorder was found in play mode, indicating someone else rewound it after the victim's death.

I'm with you all the way on this. You were not the target of my sarcasm, this thread was. But feeling that way, why are you posting riddles on a thread that has these rules when nothing prevents you, and everything encourages you to start your own thread with no rules? This is indeed a riddle.
