Here you are bringing more to the surface even now. It's very hard for me to believe there is this much opposition now, or in the past, to Historical Temperaments (HT) in and of themselves. Something else is causing this reaction you are receiving from others. I personally know that the subscribers on this list, and other lists like it, have helped me over the years learn in many ways to better present myself and the ideas I wish to share without being antagonistic in the process. I hope in time that you are open and willing to discover and learn the real humanity of the subscribers of pianotech as I have. Sincerely, and not meaning any disrespect, Keith A.
