Grin... welll geeeeessss louiiiissssss.. thats why I am asking you guys
about it now aint it ?? :)  I figure also the acoustic benifits will be
temporary... but I am not sure. And I sure as heck dont want to do
anything that will create a problem later on.

But.. that being said... the effect is very noticable, and ... well..
quite pleasing as well. A slight damping affect that seems to just nudge
sustain time down a tiny bit.... perhaps 0.3 - 0.5 seconds at F6, in
addition to substantially cleaning up the noise and quite a bit of the
falsness.

If the operation is harmless... then it can be used as a nice
diagnostic, a temp fix, and a way of demonstrating the need /
desireability for a more permanant solution.... yes ???
