I also said: "A worker that has no pride rarely does the best work." To which Israel replies: "I don't believe that Ron Nossaman - who was the first to express the opinion here that lined up beckets don't matter - can hardly be accused of "rarely doing the best work". " ???????? What a huge leap of sideways logic!? It was never posited that these considerations were equal in value.? An equally absurd connection is made with the following sentence: "Ron was pointing out that he didn't worry about exact becket alignment. That hardly qualifies for "having no pride" in his work." ? ? ? My post was not personally directed at Nossman, but at what I have seen in the trade in general.? There is no need for anyone to try to link the two. Israel, this is an example of taking a general observation, stretching it out to the extreme, and then inferring it was aimed at someone. Doesn't do anybody an good. Ed Foote RPT http://www.uk-piano.org/edfoote/index.html -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
