Sorry, mclaren, if it was not clear to me that you intended to
distinguish between "people who prefer JI intervals" and "JI moonies".
Even now, I am not quite certain what the difference is. In any case,
I think that I'm starting to like the title "JI moonie", and may decide
to keep it and wear it with pride.

You express frustration that people don't read all your posts carefully
from beginning to end. I would suggest that this would be much more
likely to happen if:

. your posts were more brief.

. your posts didn't spend so much time explicitly insulting people.

Speaking of reading other people's posts, did you happen to read the
rest of mine? I accepted your challenge for a blind tuning preference
experiment, and asked if you have any suggestions as to piece(s) to
include in such a test.

If you have no preference, I will pick piece(s) and post them. If you
think my choices have biased the results in some way, we can repeat the
experiment with piece(s) you or others suggest.

I think that I'll start with Albeniz's "Tango" rather than something
pre-19th century. Please let me know if you have some other suggestion.
