Whats this ???... So far all I have heard about these previous tuneoffs is how
there has been no significant difference noted... now I hear the ear tuning was
ahead with 70 % of the vote in Orlando ??? When was this ??

And after hearing some scoffing about  ear tuners complaining about the faults in
an evaluation proceedure that resulted in meaningless results, this posts reads
on to claim the the results of this obvious win must be nullified because the
duplex was in tune on the one and not on the other ??? A machine can get THAT
confused by an out of tune duplex ????..

Now I just KNOW there is a great explanation for all this waiting out there for
me to hear it... so before drawing any conclusions I will wait anxiously for it.
