I'm certain that's a joke, Avery - c'mon ;)

Andre, you're a better man than I, for your patience and understanding, and
I live here! I care very much about the outcome of our elections, but I get
pretty quickly annoyed at the haggling back and forth. Although we're the
land of free speech, I often feel like I need to apologize for American
self-centeredness. Of course, heaven only knows what flames I'm going to
stir up with a remark like that, but it's just the way I personally feel.

PIANO TOPIC -
Why do I often find myself correcting over-sharp high treble on pianos
someone else has tuned? I know by the time you get to the last 1-2 octaves,
they're going to be sharpish if you've correctly stretched your octaves, but
even so, I'm still bringing it down. Is the high treble more inclined to go
super-sharp with humidity due to the short scale, or am I legitimately
cleaning up after over-compensation?
How do you aural tuners out there make out your octaves in that highest
treble zone? Can you describe what you're hearing? I know that for me, I am
listening with a tuner's ear and checking with a musician's ear at that
point. How about you?

  Quentin,

  I really hope what you said below was meant as a joke!
  Hopefully, you were only doing some kind of private joke or something!

    Andre,

    Do you really think people will try to kick you outta this place?
    It is obvious you don't know anything about pianos, but you're kind and
funny, man... :-)
    So you should stay, just for your funny posts...

    Please take this post as a non-serious one...

    Q.
