Thanks Frank. Isn't it curious it is how truly close minded this particular piano factory ends up being ? Break the mold here and ....what do you get ?... well David puts it well enough below. The degree of ridicule used to enforce one particular perspective here is... well... astounding. Probably has as much to do with the format of the forum as much as anything. There is this alter - ego effect to internet lists .... lots been written about it these past years. In any case... its not my problem. I just put out what I do because its on my mind. If its worth something then it is... if it isn't, well its not for lack of trying.

On the contrary, it was/is encouraged and nurtured. I know that contributors to this list are routinely criticized, if not lambasted, for using such words as "speculation" and "opinion." but such things are essential to developing a theory, and a theory is essential to testing, which will either prove or disprove what started as "speculation" or an "opinion."
