Filtering of yahoo groups in iranCensoring sucks! We do not need to be supervised, we are adults after all. What a shame that some people consider themselves to lofty as to dictate their whims to everyone else.

Yeah, and Iran is supposed to be a 'Democratic republic'? yeah, right!

We have similar bs here in the states, with corporate media washing
out al other voices.

If the matter were to come to that, we too pass as a democratic republic,
but there exists bloody censorship hovering over the media. It is also known
that the police are monitoring private internet traffic. Frankly, I think
this has more to do with an high inner-circle which acts with unquestioned
authority that we call "deep state" around these parts.

Power without impunity, now that is a plague over true self-governance.

Back to tuning...

This is also true here. And they monitor phone calls. But there
is now growing concern about these issues, and the government has
been sued several times because of these activities.

In London, I understand entire neighborhoods are now under video
surveillance, and some of the cameras can even broadcast the
voice of a human operator, like, "You there! Stop staggering
around in the middle of the road!"

I just saw a headline yesterday in the SF Chronicle about
cameras... and I think they have already been deployed in
locations in Florida. And of course we already have them in
many places at intersections, to catch people running red
lights.

Interesting times...

I was delighted to hear that this new book has been published:

Musimathics: The Mathematical Foundations of Music by Gareth Loy

http://www.musimathics.com/

delighted, that is, until I found this item in the table of contents:

> 3.12 Designing Useful Scales Requires Compromise 67
Once again, it is not "it can be useful to compromise the tuning of scales..." or "temperament can be useful" or a similar formulation, but rather a blanket dismissal. I guess that Lou Harrison and Harry Partch and Ben Johnston and Kraig Grady (and me and many others) just didn't get the message about what was required of us!

Daniel Wolf
Frankfurt

I can only assume this just portrays the author as a man of compromise.... probably to anything blowing in the wind regardless of the value of its source:).
Remember the civil war broke out at the height of "the great compromiser's" power.
