HERE IT IS. TEMPER IS TEMPER WHEATHER IN 612 OR NOT

you shouldn't, and won't. hopefully my post made that clear. you
*won't* end up with any more tones if you temper your scale than if
you leave in in just intonation.

it seems that it merely misunderstands the proposal and nothing else.

so what you're saying is that i better not use the word "temper" or
i'll stir up *your* temper?

Paul!
well how many times in two days does someone have to be told they can temper something. It
seems once should be enough especially if they are not responding favorably. 3 people doing it
seems a bit much from my perspective watching it happen.
