Stumming trouble

Watching videos where folks tell me to strum down using my finger nail, but when I do, I get a this tinny, harmonic effect. What am I doing wrong?

Using my thumb down, and my finger up seems most natural to me.

Follow-up to "Rocky Horror" shake-up in Vermont

From the Essex Vermont Police Department:

>Date: 08/03/2026
Case Number: 26ES02093

>Narrative: On April 7th, 2026, Essex Police Department officers received a report from Kenneth Grenier, age 26, of Hyde Park, VT regarding a series of threatening and harassing texts sent to him regarding his planned production of The Rocky Horror Picture Show for the Essex Community Players theatrical group. The threatening texts came from a subscriber-based cell phone app. Due to the nature and unknown origin of the texts, the production for that show was subsequently shut down.

>Through the course of the investigation, it was uncovered that the IP address utilized to register the phone numbers that sent the threatening texts was registered to Grenier’s home address. During a follow up interview with Grenier, he admitted to creating the virtual text account and sending the texts to himself in an effort to step away from the production for alleged personal safety issues instead of the true reason of what he described as difficulties with the cast and crew.

>Grenier was issued a citation to answer the misdemeanor charge of False Reports to Law Enforcement Authorities. The case has been referred to the Chittenden County Community Justice Center for resolution.

>Issued by: Chief Ron Hoague

Happy to be part of Rock River Players' one-act festival this month outside Brattleboro. This'll be the first Vermont production of "The Mockingbird's Nest."

I just came across a YouTube video of a play of mine that apparently was produced, taped and posted without my permission or knowledge.

Trying to track down who is behind it is proving difficult.

It's posted under the title "{The Mockingbird’s Nest} Slime Tutorial - UM Directors Class Showcase 2026," but the YouTube user who posted it offers no clues as to his/her identity.

Anyone else been in this situation who can provide some advice?

(For that matter, does anyone here know who might be behind the "UM Directors Class Showcase?" My guess is it's a high school, but I suppose it could be college.)
