OK, I'm fed up too. I tried. Anyone who persists in this inanity will be
moderated. And I don't read the list all day, so posts will be delayed.
Per Google, "coloro che sanno" means "those who know". Did we need to
look this up?

Jon Perryman does not appear to be quits of this thread.
He wrote (of me):
<begin extract> I agree totally except with his posts. He is articulate
and always chooses his wording carefully. He has many years of
experience and knows why I don't use TRTE but he chose not to say that
and use his specific wording. Clearly he has intent but he tries to
keep it subtle. He needed to be called on it. </end extract>
When and if I have 'intent' to discredit someone, I will choose a
worthier, more formidable opponent. Shooting fish in a barrel is not
my idea of good sport. His imputations reflect his own anxieties, not
my intent.
I was in fact uncharacteristically charitable about the snippet of code that he
posted.
There are always two questions in any of these situations. One first
asks oneself, "Is it done the way I would do it?" The answer to this
preliminary question is, of course, almost always no. The next, much
more important question is, "In its own terms is it done well?" The
answer to this question for the case of Mr. Perryman's snippet was
again no. The appropriate, classical iterative scheme, used almost
reflexively by coloro che sanno, cleans up with an executed TRT. One
of the merits of TRTE is that it offers less scope for misuse by
mandolinisti.

Until he escalated this dispute, I was unaware of him; and I have now added his
email address to my kill list, ensuring that I will have no occasion to see or
comment further on his posts.
