David, welcome to this list, and thanks for bringing your knowledge to this
issue of hyper-MOS. It is most opportune that you should be joining us at
this time, since otherwise we might have floundered about on this issue for
some time with no clear direction or results. I'm looking forward to further
discussions and clarifications on that subject.

I'd like to ask a question which you may attempt to answer as a member of
academia:

>At
>the time of our 1989 paper, Carey and I were unaware of MOS, Xenharmonicon
>not being in the holdings of the major research libraries we were
>inhabiting.

Why is it that all the major research libraries subscribe to 1/1 (the
Journal of the Just Intonation Network) but virtually none subscribe to
Xenharmonikon? (I have a personal interest in this question because I
believe that my article in Xenharmonikon 17 addresses an issue common in the
current journals, namely, generalizing diatonicity, but I fear that it will
not get the attention that I believe it deserves from academia. Not to
mention the attention that Wilson's many papers deserve.)
