---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment As a person who is trying, as we all are, to improve his craft, I appreciate the leading edge technical information provided by those who are trying to make the piano a better instrument. As a person who is sincerely struggling over the ethics and efficacy of various redesign operations, I very much appreciate the arguments of Robin Hufford, David Love, Bill Ballard, John Hartman, et. al., which speak eloquently to the philosophical and commercial, as well as the technical side of these processes. The many different positions taken on the recent Horowitz piano thread have been equally enlightening, and showed that there are more than two sides to most issues. I would say, though, that two recent sarcastic posts (concerning FAILURE to redesign) shed more heat than light, and I think they tend to stifle conversation. I understand the emotional stake one can have in defending a position, and I relish the intellectual tweaking of a bit of irony from time to time, but I've enjoyed the depth of conversation on several topics over the last month or two, and I find the sarcasm dismissive and disrespectful. Assign only the noblest of motives to your opponent, keep up the debate, and thank you. Bob Davis ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
