Ah, I was thinking in terms of stable balanced responsive tone 
production that doesn't hurt to listen to, or take three days' 
work out of the box to try to come anywhere near, if possible 
at all, only to have the things deteriorate to junk in too few 
years.

Or maybe I was just looking to spend some commas. <G>
