[CAUT] Mythbusters

[Greg Granoff]

This just in--- at the Pacific NW and Western Regional conference just ended

during his day long concert prep demo about that (sost rod and abandoning
the NY mounting style at long last) and his answer was a cryptic "stay

Each is quite willing for the other to follow their superior 
example. <G>
