Ooohhh, let's fight! No, seriously, I did high level tunings for pros for
my whole career using a temp strip, but I got BETTER  when I threw it
away...but that's me and my craft; however beauty is achieved, I love the
beauty. I've become much less dogmatic in the past several years about how
techs do stuff, as long as the end result is beauty if tone and touch.  So
there.  but that doesn;t mean I won;t give you my strong opinion about
stuff.
