Why is the fact that others aren't interested in your ideas such a problem for you when your disinterest in their ideas doesn't particularly bother them? It's a mystery. >> It's no mystery to me, Ron. You failed to see my point, as expected. And as I said, it's the HT's. As soon as you see my name, it doesn't matter what I write, it will not be read nor understood for what it really says, it will only be viewed with a deeply imbedded resistance and rejection of the idea that a proper piano tuning could be *unequal*. The very idea that so many tunings that were meant to be ET are not in fact but a backwards version of an HT is all the more disquieting. Reverse Well does not exist because I am the only one who has identified it. Therefore, no matter what I write about anything or how I write it, it is viewed with contempt because I have challenged the very way that you and most other people have always perceived the art and practice of tuning. The easiest way to reject my ideas is to delete them or to take cheap shots at them. It's me against all the rest. If you choose to see it that way, then it is that way. I was interested in what you had to say about the substandard rebuilding job but I found the way you presented it to be unreadable, so I deleted it. It's just as I said, it is OK for you to rant and rave and spout off, but I am not allowed to do that. I've seen other List members write far more outrageous things than I ever have and have it accepted as normal discourse. To me, it's all very amusing because I get lots of private mail from people who are very interested in what I do and have to say but who are much too afraid to ever ask about it on the List because they already know what the reaction will be. So, if you don't mind too much, I'll talk about what interests me the way I want to talk about it and you talk about what interests or concerns you, the way you want to talk about it. If I lose interest in what you have to say simply because of the way you have presented it, then you have done the very same thing that you accuse me of. It's always been that way, not just between you and me but with any of the others who have complained. As I said, it's the HT's. If that were not my primary area of interest, if I ranted and raved about PSO's, "tooners", "birdcages are for the birds" and about a few "kooks" who want to do funny tunings, "don't they *know* there is only *one* way to tune a piano?!", I'd be cool and just one of the guys, just like you. But I am not. So, there. Bill Bremmer RPT Madison, Wisconsin
