Horrible example(s) (flame, offtopic)

[Ron Nossaman]

Bill,

The thing is, you see, that the accumulated aggravation of tuning too many
Kimballs over a number of years tends to make one somewhat testy and
irascible. I think this is a documented phenomenon. Fortunately, you have
not yet been adversely affected by this potentially crippling condition so
it may not be too late. Before this tragedy overcomes you and devours all
traces of tolerance and humor, I wonder if you could enlighten us concerning
a few minor points. I, for one, am consumed with curiosity as to how the
nearly endless list of problems/deficiencies/curses inherent in the Kimball
production line can be overcome with a screwdriver and vacuum. This must be
one major hummer of a super sucker vacuum, a magic screwdriver, or both.
Please describe, in as much detail as you can so we can follow you, how this
is done. We are, after all, here to learn. Since you are apparently here to
instruct, pray do. Please don't just delete this out of hand, Bill, this is
your golden chance for absolution. Thanks for your attention.

No pressure, but in breathless anticipation, Ron
