Mr Stanwood, and list,

let me make clear once and for all that you did not get me wound up by 
telling the list that you did - or did not - like this kind of front 
punching.
The list is a perfect place to discuss anything related to piano's in 
general, and if one gets wound up by that, then it would be better to 
become a subscriber to a more 'winding up' oriented club. (there are 
such clubs, you know).

The reason why you got me wound up is a totally different matter and 
has nothing to do with front punchings.
In an earlier email (see above) I wrote that I would settle 'that 
matter' by contacting you privately.
