Tuning from scratch

[Michelle Smith]

Mr. Grebe-

Sorry if I offended.  That wasn't my intention.  I was just making  
reference to the increasing importance of ETDs and "heaven forbid"  
any tuner should have to work without one.  (Sarcasm.)

E-mail is so unreliable in the area of emotions.  If you met me in  
person, you would know that I would never say anything to  
intentionally offend someone.

Have a great day!

Michelle
