David, 
 
I had no idea he was referring to anyone specifically, and I thought the
ignorance and, as you seem to be correct in identifying,
passive-agressive type of hostility, of his comment spoke for itself and
needed no response.  However, now I regret that I or someone else did
not make the effort to discourage this level of bloviating blithering.
Perhaps this isn't a real person, and some bad-spirited reality show is
trying to set us up -- for else, what is the purpose? -- this person, or
fictional creation, is repeatedly making an embarrassment of himself and
this post just further detracts from his credibility.  I hate to see a
positive contributor such as yourself feel compelled to respond to such
nonsense.  I doubt anything can get through to somebody acting like
this, not while he's in his current mode anyway, but I guess you had to
try.  Just wish he'd take responsibility himself for the quality and
value of what he puts out.  
 
I am not even a regular correspondent on this list, but I have been
amazed at the tenacity of this individual in making gratuitous
small-minded gestures in a forum that is by far otherwise mostly
friendly, intelligent, helpful, and respectful, not to mention full of
curiosity, humor, ingenuity, dedication, colorful personalities,
kindness, honest and passionate disagreements, passionate loves of many
facets of the world of pianos and their users, and lots of other good
stuff -- all-round decent and very cool!

	You are a disrespectful and pathetic buffoon, Terry Peterson.
For what you
	wrote above--- and anybody following this thread can only apply
it to me and
	my statements---I should set you straight---if I ever have the
misfortune to
	run into you. You are exactly the kind of human that is
destructive to our
	business:  arrogant, dogmatic, argumentative, cruel,
passive-aggressive,
	and selfish.
	
	Stay away from me and commenting about me, or referring to me in
any way.
	
	David Andersen
