A truly inspired post, Ron! I especially enjoyed the "duplex" suggestion,
but I hope that you're aware of all the consternation it's going to be
causing in Indiana. All over, people are going to be hitting themselves

If only we'd thought of that, we'd probably still be building pianos
today!!!" %-)
