Welcome to the club JD.  Of course you did not say the bridge does not move.  On
the contrary, it seemed to me that your descriptions were far more inclusive
about what factors contribute to how the soundboard functions.  And I fail to
see that any of these thoughts have been refuted, nor really even confronted for
that matter.  Seems like there is a lot of talking past one another going on,
and some jumping to conclusions about what each other is saying.

While there are others that might understand to some degree this sentiment, I
would remind that we are all human.  We all get frustrated with each other from
time to time, but I suppose that has as much to do with the nature of list life
as anything else. In anycase... this kind of comment is counterproductive at
best JD. Grin... and I should know.
