  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.
