As usual, my point was completely lost!  I must have some difficulty
expressing myself.  I was attempting to determine whether Steve
Fairchild's 5-minute piano tuning was ever checked for ACCURACY by ANYONE.
And, again
as usual, instead of a straight answer, the responses take the form of personal
attacks.  Believe me, I am under no "illusions", I am certainly not naive
and I am
obviously not the one who is mixed up.  

Let me quickly apologize if I have offended anyone or stepped on any fragile
egos.
