I, for one, see almost no light and mostly smoke and heat emerging from the blasts you seem to enjoy sending at one another. Regards, Fred </blockquote> Fred... I agree entirely the comments thrown do not be on the list.  But I do not see that I threw anything beyond a single <<grin>>.  Otherwise I simply refused to bite but stood by my on topic statements. I dont enjoy any of the blasts thrown at folks. Kind of ironic really.. just three weeks ago in Helsinki at the Nordic I found myself defending exactly Mr. Love, and Mr Nossaman and other rebuilders of like or similar mind against the same kind of behavior.  One of Europe's finest piano manufacturers leveled a vicious attack on rescalers and rebuilders who change even the slightest detail.  He even used the name of a scaling program in his lecture. So I called him on it and challenged him to offer some topical reasoning instead of relying on ridicule. And I did so in public.  Its in my blood to reject dogma... at least when it qualifies as being a point of view or tenet put forth as authoritative without adequate grounds.  Even more ironic.... it is exactly this same impulse that seems to lay at the root of the <<opposing view>> in the present discussion.  I don't see the need to disagree with such open and obviously conscious disrespect.  Whats wrong with just plain not seeing eye to eye and staying friends despite ? And I don't see why some seem to be <<allowed>> just about any transgression and others are nailed the second they open their mouth in protest. Shoot... and we were all getting on really well for a good long while in this discussion. RicB </body> </html>
