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 "If there is anyone here I have failed to insult tonight, I hope you will accept my sincere apology." Johannes Brahms /
