This is as far as the most charitable informed person can go in the way of an open mind." Most of us are fairly polite in this forum, so I will continue in that manner. Some people should seriously admit that their presumptions are nothing more than that. It is (to put it mildly) perverse to imply that one system invalidates all others. This may of course come from the equally damaging view that accepting any other system invalidates one's own. At least the writer shows impeccable logic on this one point. One of the many poor results of such behaviour is that we tend to write off everything said by such people as nonsense. In the present case that would be unfortunate indeed. With few exceptions, this is not the way this forum has advanced over the several years of its existence, for good reason. Having stirred up the pot in this manner, I will now put the lid back on, turn down the heat, and leave the room. ========================== Dr. Paul Rapoport SADM (Music) McMaster University SMTPOriginator: tuning@eartha.mills.edu From: William Sethares Subject: 19 and melodic lemons PostedDate: 18-12-97 02:17:01 SendTo: CN=coul1358/OU=AT/O=EZH ReplyTo: tuning@eartha.mills.edu $MessageStorage: 0 $UpdatedBy: CN=notesrv2/OU=Server/O=EZH,CN=coul1358/OU=AT/O=EZH,CN=Manuel op de Coul/OU=AT/O=EZH RouteServers: CN=notesrv2/OU=Server/O=EZH,CN=notesrv1/OU=Server/O=EZH RouteTimes: 18-12-97 02:14:53-18-12-97 02:14:54,18-12-97 02:14:31-18-12-97 02:14:31 DeliveredDate: 18-12-97 02:14:31 Categories: $Revisions: Received: from ns.ezh.nl ([137.174.112.59]) by notesrv2.ezh.nl (Lotus SMTP MTA SMTP v4.6 (462.2 9-3-1997)) with SMTP id C1256571.0006DA3E; Thu, 18 Dec 1997 02:16:47 +0100 Received: by ns.ezh.nl; (5.65v3.2/1.3/10May95) id AA18581; Thu, 18 Dec 1997 02:17:01 +0100 Date: Thu, 18 Dec 1997 02:17:01 +0100 Received: from ella.mills.edu by ns (smtpxd); id XA18578 Received: (qmail 2439 invoked from network); 17 Dec 1997 17:16:52 -0800 Received: from localhost (HELO ella.mills.edu) (127.0.0.1) by localhost with SMTP; 17 Dec 1997 17:16:52 -0800 Message-Id: <199712180114.AA04981@eceserv0.ece.wisc.edu> Errors-To: madole@mills.edu Reply-To: tuning@eartha.mills.edu Originator: tuning@eartha.mills.edu Sender: tuning@eartha.mills.edu
