Um ... I wasn't saying that I thought it was computer-engraved because it was somehow "better" than a score engraved with plates. There were just certain aspects of it that seemed like something someone might have done in Finale -- for better OR worse. Perhaps I was wrong, John, but I didn't need to be reminded of the printing press/invention of the computer timeline.
You know, I haven't been a member of this list for that long -- a year and a half or so -- and since joining, I have posted a grand total of three new threads (sorry, maybe four). In two of those, someone posted a reply designed to make me feel like an idiot. Call me thin-skinned, but that doesn't feel much like the caring and supportive community so many have claimed this list to be. If your reply was more light-hearted than that, John, then I apologize -- but it's too hard to read into people's "tone of voice" on e-mail, and I have had too many listserv experiences (here, the Logic-Users forum, heck even the listserv for my homeowners' association) with people who take far too many liberties while typing on a keyboard that they wouldn't dream of when talking to a person face to face. -- Mike On 1/28/05 10:35 AM, "John Howell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > At 9:50 AM -0500 1/28/05, Michael L.
