Hi Margo -

It looks like I really walked into a hell of a mess here.

As I mentioned over the list, if this Mr. Zill guy really is Brian and he's denying it, then he's
doing a good acting job about it. At this point I really doubt if it really was Brian, but I
guess I can't catagorically rule it out for sure.

Brian asked me to forward the insulting messages he was alleged to have written, and I'm starting
with this thread. I was unable to locate the message he supposedly sent to which you replied
below.

If you wouldn't mind, I'd much appreciate it if you'd forward that message (if you have it that
is) to me so that I can let Brian know what started the whole thing?

If you'd prefer not to know then I certainly understand.

I myself appear to have insulted Kraig Grady in all this, when I, absolutely honestly, hardly know
what's been going on. I rarely have any time to drop in on the tuning list for more than a few
words (reading or writing), so I've hardly read any of what's been upsetting people recently.

By the way, you don't have my permission to forward him what I just wrote.

What the bloody hell do you consider to be "good acting"? "I didn't do it I
didn't do it I didn't do it I didn't do it I didn't do it I didn't do it I
didn't do it I didn't do it I didn't do it I didn't do it I didn't do it I
didn't do it I didn't do it I didn't do it"???????

That WASN¹T what started the whole thing.
IT STARTED on practicalmicrotonality.
