She does seem to have a bias against rock, or at least the decibels of it; but I couldn't delete the text and only include the text that I thought pertinent (re: "acquired deafness due to saturation" viewpoint) and have it make sense. I never suggested that the style of music has anything to do with the issue, and she seems to have implied it, but the issue is the oversaturation of all of it. Anyway, all this is interesting and important stuff to me and apparantly many of us here, but I need to get off this and stop using this site to vent or discuss issues other than Finale. Duh!
