<HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Re: Rattling their Cage</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> Mr Bremmer is not well, that is obvious. Many have tried to 'help' him, but indeed, he just keeps rattling on. A hopeless case, and it would be best not to ever react to him. Just my euro....

As for the many posts that were never written because I somehow stood in th= e way, how about the ones that were never written because the List is too ful= l of off topic discussion, one liners, personal notes, etc., (that I never ha= d anything to do with) for any serious minded tech to be interested in wading= through? I'd like to see all of those that took the time to vent their hatred, anger= and frustration with me and my *behavior* to write some kind of opinion abo= ut tuning hammer styles (a subject in this month's Journal) and methods of <BR= > operating one.  There is more than one person who has currently asked = about this topic and I'm sure there are others who have questions. It is a classic example of a topic where you will get opinions from the ver= y best technicians that will seem to contradict each other.  I believe t= he best way for any individual to sort this kind of contradictory information out i= s to be able to read as many opinions with details as possible.  And I d= on't mean one liners like, "I'm a Jerk tuner, the ladies love it". <BR= > OK, Ola, let's see how many of the now famous Baloney Bunch, the remnants o= f that erstwhile tame and civil group that lived in such blissful harmony <BR= > before *I* came along will write something worth reading and worth putting = in the archives.  I know each one of them can do it and I do respect thei= r opinions which often concur with mine.  I don't "attack" the= m if they differ from mine.  It is and always has been the HT controversy that that has= been inflammatory in and of itself.  This, in spite of repeated denials. &n= bsp;In the back of their minds, it is *always* the "Oh him again, the one who doe= s *that*!"  It colors their perception and raises the most deep sea= ted defense mechanisms every time. But the idea is not going away, nor am I. Bill Bremmer RPT Madison, Wisconsin </BLOCKQUOTE> </BODY> </HTML>
