<HTML>Well, after another long, hard day's work and an evening at the gym, I see what could easily have been predicted.  The same bunch, the same complaints.   You see, I merely provide the catalyst for getting them to spout off, in greater detail than I have ever seen any of them write a technical post, about that one guy they just wish would go away.  Horace is as free to write on the List, provide technical information, quote poetry or philosophy to underscore it as anyone.  I'd like to see something of real value, just once. As for the many posts that were never written because I somehow stood in the way, how about the ones that were never written because the List is too full of off topic discussion, one liners, personal notes, etc., (that I never had 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 about tuning hammer styles (a subject in this month's Journal) and methods of 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 very best technicians that will seem to contradict each other.  I believe the best way for any individual to sort this kind of contradictory information out is to be able to read as many opinions with details as possible.  And I don't mean one liners like, "I'm a Jerk tuner, the ladies love it". OK, Ola, let's see how many of the now famous Baloney Bunch, the remnants of that erstwhile tame and civil group that lived in such blissful harmony 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 their opinions which often concur with mine.  I don't "attack" them 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.  In the back of their minds, it is *always* the "Oh him again, the one who does *that*!"  It colors their perception and raises the most deep seated defense mechanisms every time. But the idea is not going away, nor am I. Bill Bremmer RPT Madison, Wisconsin</HTML>
