I see by the Juno advertisement at the end of all my postings
that the mailers do add their own 'noise'. It's annoying,
but I suppose one *has* to overlook that.

But really, as I've said before, using Digest.Message reference
numbers as I do can keep quotes to a minimum and makes it easy
to go back and find the original. I realize it's a little
extra work, but it only takes a few seconds, and it's worth it.

(And, for the future day when I get back to archiving these
Digests on the Sonic Arts website, it will make it *much* easier
for me to make links from quotes to originals. That way
when reading a response in an archived Digest, all you'd have
to do is click the link to go back to the original and read that.)

Never meant to imply that you were the only one either, Pat.
Others are sometimes guilty too.

Thanks for the mended lattices, as well as the observation
that several different ones can be equally valid in an ET.

I'm a JI supporter, and you upset me too.

It turns out, after seeing more of your postings, that your
attitudes and methods really aren't that different from some
of the rest of us. And I find your 'Centre of Gravity' idea
very much along the lines of my own work.

Glad you jumped back onboard! I'll be spending some time
digging thru your work in the near future (soon as AFMM is over).

[A little interlude here for a question ... when I had set "digest" I
got the numbered index and so it makes possible the above TD 181.19
reference, but when I changed to individual messages I no longer know
which message number and digest any given message is ... so how do I get
individual messages and still know the references?]

My apologies to anyone that I upset through my manners.
If I only upset you because I want music to be able to have perfect
harmony then I don't apolodise for that.

I am quite delighted by how many people are thinking along lines that
are similar to mine. Over the previous decade I have found few people
that understood what I was saying let alone other people thinking some
similar thoughts.

On my web pages I have some musical discussions from another list as
well as my AJI description. I would like, at some time, to add parts of
the discussion here to my web pages as it considerably expands and
clarifies my existing pages on AJI. I want to know whether this is
considered a public forum (I would think so) and I can therefore quote
material in this manner, or whether it is necessary to ask first. In
the other case I got permission from all people for quoting them and I
am certainly happy to not quote people or to remove their names if they
want to be anonymous.
