     Bill, if you would wander in from the lunatic fringe more often, you
would notice that there have been a variety of electronic keyboards developed
in the last five years that offer a temperament selection switch.  Accurate or
not, this capability has done more to raise awareness of alternative tunings
than everything you, I, or anyone I know of, has done. 
    There have been a number of technicians that were fence sitters on the
temperament question until it was put into an either/or format, as you have
done.  The result is, of course, abandonment of the interest in learning more.
This is counter-productive to the temperament crusade, and I, for one,
certainly wish you would learn more about human behaviour before proceding to
condemn that which you don't accept.
