RE: I've never used talc, and why would you?

Well, I've read from some sources (LP12 faq for one) that Linn dealers "recommend" putting talc on it (though I can't quite locate an official Linn source that actually says so. The benefits are apparently some slippage during start-up to reduce wear on both the belt and the motor and cleaning out moisture and oil that may have contaminated the belt from handling. On pure blind belief and superstition, I've used some on my belts for the last 2 decades. But since the new belt seems to look a little different from my old ones, I just want to know if the "official" or "concensus" stance has changed.
