Re: Los Once Quintas Perfectas

Marco,

Let me congratulate you for confronting the spanish language, your brief message was sufficiently explicit. I was prepared to get signs of people feeling happiness after they contact a person who they wrongly think is acting ridiculously.

I believe that George D. Secor didn�t joke and his phrase related to Pythagoras was only a phrase that I thank.

It is not a fair idea to call "Gringos Microtonalistas" to the United States citizens; in one way or another they are giving you the bread to survive. You know that "Gringo" is the combination of the spanish sounds of "Green" and "Go", Time ago the clothes of the US soldiers were of green color and some latin american people used this offensive expression. You can cowardly offend me but don�t do it to people that is far from your venomous tongue.

Regarding the 11 pure fifths in the octave, in the coming days I will give full information on this matter. I admit that
this declaration sounds "ridiculous" but it is true. I hope that some members of the tuning list at least doubt about its validity; I only need five messages of members requesting the full data of this interesting subject to send it them.

I would appreciate it if you remove my e-mail address from your PC.

Thanks

You're older than I am. Don't you think ridicule is a bit too rough of a trip to lay onto a fellow tuning lister who's already struggling with the language barrier? I know the subject was numbers and not a foreign language this time, but how do you feel now that your joke went right over the intended recipient's head?
