I, for one, would certainly not be scared off the list by such a discussion. I am particularly interested in the ideas you call "virtual pitch, residue pitch, complex tone pitch, fundamental tracking, and possibly periodicity pitch, I have been working on this for some time" and I'd love to see some of these ideas posted to the list.
