I'm not giving up anything Jim, because that isn't the point. However many
directions a string goes when it vibrates, it either moves the bridge in
the process or it doesn't. I say it does. The other 70,000 words and side
trails are incidental to that question, which is why I keep trying to drag
it back to this fundamental concept.
