Hi,

Just for the record, although I don't post to the list very often, I am an
active (but uncounted) composer. I've composed and/or played some microtonal
music before ever joining the list, and am in the process of composing more
microtonal music, as well as honing my skills at playing it, but haven't yet
posted anything to the files page. Hopefully this will soon be remedied. In
my current situation, it is not always easy to record and upload music. But
there's one more to add to the list, for whatever it's worth. I'm sure there
are others lurking as well.

Seth
