Monsieur Bremmer, As my flamesuit warehouse is now restocked, I feel safe to respond to your latest belicose belittleling of a fellow list member. At 08:55 2/27/98 EST, you wrote: >I'm BACK!!! ><snip> >there is also the same old... Billbrpt!! >Better yet, start thinking about the consequences of making derrogatory and >public statements about certain brands [PEOPLE] that you personally have not yet [MET] or developed the [SOCIAL] skill(s) to handle. > Do you _know_ that Mr. Torres has underdeveloped skills, stood by and listened and watched while he was working, guiding him gently into the one true way? IMHO Greg's complaining about the quality of the Chinese pianos was not because of ineptitude, but rather frustration. Perhaps he could let us know which of the possible weaknesses was most odious and we could discuss _that_ rather than any perceived personal skill deficit? > Keep thinking that way,<snip> Yeah, right. >Maybe it's time for those who can't compete because they think they already >know everything there is to know that's worth knowing, that there is only one >right way, .... We are all well aware of your professed ability to consistently turn these consumer oriented (i.e. cheap) instruments from sow's ears into silk purses. Is that because _you_ already know everything and everything you know is THE _right_ way? Perhaps you could elucidate, for all, the proper method of making a treble section sound clean which has false beats on multiple strings per unison and sometimes multiple false beats per string? Certainly one of the situations which could cause frustration to most people and might be the cause of some impure thoughts. (or even an uttered epithet!) > , to wake up and smell the coffee. Perhaps heeding your own advise would be a good thing? > >You can bet on that. Yup. Your return to the list is welcomed by those on it who can, and will, benefit from your expertise in several areas. There are those, however, who are discounting that very expertise because of your method of serving up that knowledge to this list. There are even those who might benefit from the knowledge you might be able to offer, but will never see it because they are summarily deleting, unread, any post from you. Is it at all possible to limit your remarks to a discussion of pianos and/or piano related subjects w/o personal attacks upon another list member?
