* Sorry Ed, none of that has been mentioned up to now by anyone but Bill,
and now you. I don't recall EVER reading ANYTHING on this list from an ET
tuner that was negative toward HTs... EVER. I have, however read literally
DOZENS, if not HUNDREDS of negative remarks about ET from at least one HT
tuner. This has, so far, been a technical inquiry for clarification, NOT a
temperament skirmish. Let's not, PLEASE, make it one.
