interested in experimenting with floating the bass region. In re-reading that
post I see nothing controversial in it. Just a bit of ordinary musing
along with a question. The aftermath I agree has nothing really to do with Deans
post, and I have already commented to that effect.</EM></FONT></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial><FONT face="Times New Roman">I guess I was just commenting
on the research involved in finding some answers - you mentioned the advantages
of production volume, etc. My comments were simply a suggestion on how one could
bypass much of that process by consulting with a designer familiar with the
concept.</DIV>

took the time to hunt I could find some... and probably some of their ideas

that was exactly what you WERE doing in contrast to actually addressing Deans
inquiry. I still dont see where you addressed anything from Deans posts in
that one... but it really doesn't matter. As I said in my last... nothing here
to get anyones feathers all rilled as far as I can see.</EM></FONT></DIV>
