I was referring to bookkeeping, making forms, and running scale calculations. I would never imply that about ETD use. That would subvert the entire context of my post: for us artisans, all roads lead to Rome. So to speak. > This is what bothers me about your position. You imply that using a device is somehow less, less skill, less craft. Nope. No sir. Not with someone like you, or all my other treasured colleagues and peers who choose to use a device. > Most of the skill and craft is learning how to get to the target and keep it there anyway (lever mechanics). Welll....let's say a LOT of the skill and craft...but super crucial, agreed. > That has little to do with what guides your ears or machine or as is the case with all the etd users that I know, both. Right on, brother. See? Respectful differences of opinion can be fun and educational...... xoDA
