Re: Thank you, Joseph Pehrson, for posting correct URL

Hello, there, Joseph Pehrson, and _thank you_ for so fortuitously, in
the most fortunate sense, not only catching my incorrect URL for the
Early Music FAQ on hexachords and accidentals, but so helpfully
posting the correct URL, which I'll restate for the curious:

http://www.medieval.org/emfaq/harmony/hex.html

One problem is that I need to come up with some efficient method of
testing URL's _before_ I post articles containing them; as soon as I
looked at the Tuning Digest with my URL in Pine, selected the link,
and got the error message, I realized that I meant medieval.org, not
yahoo.com -- maybe a Freudian slip, considering the Yahoo-related
questions that have come up with the List, and also that I often do
use links to our archives at yahoo.com. What a treat, a few messages
later, that you had already corrected my error by posting the right
URL -- and giving lots of possibly puzzled users access to the
material!

Pine recognizes URL's in received mail, but not to my knowledge in a
user's outgoing message text. One test method I have sometimes used is to
send an article first to myself, and try the links, before posting to
the list. Another might be to learn enough HTML to make a file which
the Lynx browser could read and use to treat a URL as a link, then go
through a post and use Emacs to copy any URL's into this file, then
upload the file to my ISP and try Lynx on it.

Anyway, Joseph, you're a real friend, to me and everyone here. Thanks
so much.

Most appreciatively,

Margo Schulter

Hello Margo!

This seems like an approach that would work but, frankly, to my
knowledge you have made very few mistakes in your posts, including
URL's.

And, of course, people on the Tuning List are, generally, more than
willing to immediately report inaccuracies!... (When Paul was here,
such details were generally reported even MORE frequently! :) )

> Anyway, Joseph, you're a real friend, to me and everyone here.
Thanks so much.

Thank you so very much for this statement and, I would like to say
that I am very honored by your friendship and all the other people on
this list. (And I even mean Jon Szanto! --- John, I had to do that,
:), of course you're part of it...)

Quite frankly, there have been rare occasions in my lifetime where I
have been able to meet and exchange ideas on music on the
intellectual plateau that exists here on the Tuning List... Have I
become, for the time being, a Tuning List "junkie??" Quite possibly,
but I'm loving every minute of it...

Oh... and regarding "Early Music" issues (another morning listening
"addiction...") might it be possible for you to post, perhaps as an
addendum to your wonderful articles (or maybe even a separate post),
some specific PIECES and composers that pertain to your discussions??

It's always a good occasion for me to investigate some SPECIFIC Early
Music pieces and, frankly, the most fun is when I have to "special
order" the CD... I guess that's an interesting "psychological"
phenominon... When it finally arrives, what joy! (Such happened
with the Solage some time ago...)

And as a bit of advertising again... I would urge anybody interested
in Early Music to investigate the site at:

http://www.medieval.org/

I plan to study every bit of it when I get a chance...

Thanks so much again!
