I guess only Neil can answer to his intentions, but I personally have never gotten the feeling that he's trying to upset anybody. I think he's just trying to say: 1. Sure, theory is valuable, but what ultimately matters is music. 2. Practice before you publish. People will think microtonality is a bunch of idle mathematical chatter if the music we publish based upon those ideas is boring, even if for reasons unrelated to its microtonality. $AdditionalHeaders: Received: from ns.ezh.nl by notesrv2.ezh.nl (Lotus SMTP MTA v1.1 (385.6 5-6-1997)) with SMTP id C12564DA.00071141; Sun, 20 Jul 1997 03:17:11 +0200
