Rummaging through an old offlist exchange between
Paul E. and myself, I noticed he said jamesbond was
something of a wrench in comma sequences, but I
find no tuning-math messages in my archives containing
both of these strings, nor is james on this page:

Gene, know anything about this? I'd love an
explanation.

The bridge comma sequence is [2187/2048, 81/80] and the Hermite comma
sequence is [2187/2048, 135/128]; neither seems to be causing a
problem, unless you count starting out with 7-et a problem.
