Sincerely, Bill Bremmer RPT </BLOCKQUOTE> Bill Excuse me for being cynical, but I think I've heard this before. It is one thing to advocate a tuning, and to explain it, and to promote it. That is fine. I think we all agree that different tunings have their place. But to blast those people who happen to disagree with you is wrong. You have done it for a long time. And you have apologized for it. But it keeps happening. So while you seem humbled this time, how long will it be before you go back to your bad habits. You and I used to be friends, and I knew you as a good person. But your comments several years ago has left a bad taste in my mouth. While I appreciate your tuning skills, it will take a lot more than an apology on line to reevaluate our friendship. Wim</HTML>
