     I would take issue that you have made any points at all,  just spurious 
and inaccurate comments in a desperate attempt to avoid the error of your 
website.  If you would take the time to actually read what was posted, you 
would notice that I wrote:

retains the true "colors" or >tonality known in the past", the EBVT, as 
described, cannot do that,<snip>

   I stand behind that. What part of "as described" is so hard to understand? 
   All of your ranting will not change how  the temperament is described on 
the site, which is all I have addressed;  not how you tune, what you tune, 
your love life, or anything else.

    Your warnings carry no weight with me, so let me be very clear.  Your 
numbers are wrong, your procedure is malleable,  and your results are so 
subjective that they defy utility.  The imbalances are there,  but I will 
leave it to the number crunchers to specify exactly what and where,  I make 
my judgements by listening to aural and electronic results and comparing the 
differences.

   Which is exactly why I posted long ago that the Jorgensen book's aural 
bearing plans should be used to verify the results of using the machine 
offsets, but that is a detail Mr. Bremmer managed to overlook.  All tuning is 
a calculated approximation, regardless of how one goes about it, but on 
well-scaled pianos, the differences between the offsets and following the 
aural instructions are academic.

   This is not a game.  Among other things, you have repeatedly posted that I 
have called certain manufacturers specific products junk, which is totally 
false, and is, imo, an attempt to damage my professional relationships within 
the industry.  You don't think I am going to sit idly by while this happens, 
do you?  You have responded to a critique of your creation with personal 
attacks, and insinuations of incompetance, which violates every ethical 
standard of debate.   Everything posted so far on this subject is a matter of 
public record, and the decision on how your behaviour reflects upon the Guild 
as a whole is soon to be out of my hands.
