Hey there Ed ! :)

No apology needed as far as I am concerned.  I pretty much knew where 
you were comming from.  You are one of those valued contributers here 
that has no problem digging into a discussion and coming out of it 
smiling at the other guy with friendlyness written all over your words.  
A couple more comments below.
--------------------------------------

/Dear List:

I see that my most offensive comment was that anyone who tunes A4 to F3 
does not know how to tune a piano.
That was not a correct statement.  I see that there are circumstances in 
which a person using this method may produce a very good tuning for that 
circumstance./
---------------------------------------
Well, that comment is what got me into the frey for sure :)... but then 
hey... we got to throw a whole lot of basic partials thinking around for 
Marshall (and each other) to think about.  The exercise was a good one 
in my book.  Hopefully, our Marshall will see that perhaps studying a 
bit about partials / overtones is not such a difficult matter after 
all... and perhaps an interesting one at that.

---------------------------------------
/My intention was to help a new learner focus on those facts and actions 
which would most advance and accelerate his long term growth.  If anyone 
feels personally demeaned by my statement, I think you have probably 
misunderstood my intent, but I can understand that, and hope you will 
accept my apology.
/
---------------------------------------

Believe it or not one of my intentions in jumping in with both feet 
waggling was that same. In anycase... I think you succeeded in your 
stated goal quite well.  As for demeaned.... I certainly didnt take it 
that way.  I've read your stuff for a few years now and know your style 
and your serious committment. You range right up there amoung the best 
respecteds IMB.  None the least for your ability to dissagree in the 
productive fashion you've shown here.

Deep bows along with my usual Cheers !
RicB

/Sincerely,
Ed Sutton
