The Opposite! was Re: Aid for short people

[tune4u@earthlink.net]

It's that high treble with the lid prop in the way. Maybe I'll learn to tune

And Ron, I didn't know it was a karate "horse" stance, but I found that
spread legs thing does help--makes you a little shorter, I guess.

Thanks to all for suggestions.
