You're welcome. There are many people involved in the temperament
revival these days, and there are a number of approaches being tried. I am
not so much desirous that others "agree" with me as much as I want to feel
like I convinced others to at least try some new things,(it is a personal
thing I suppose, attacking the status quo is something many of us learned in
the 60's and I guess I just never outgrew it).
Those that can't help but be irrational are only a nuisance, and lacking
credibility, offer not abuse, but "entertainment de outre". If I was
insecure about what I am doing, I would be concerned, but we have seen it all
before.
Thanks for the note,
REgards,
