Dr. JC Sr.;
In a message dated 5/25/97 1:27:31 AM, you wrote:

This is in reference to the stretched octaves, relatively pure fifths and
slightly expanded fourths, tenths, etc.  Correct ?
  If so, does this kinda reinforce some of the perceptions as expressed by
various persons in the "unisions" thread ?, i.e.  not quite pure equals
"bigger, fatter sound"?  Or do you think was some other reason for making
this comment ?
