Paul, I agree completely with this viewpoint (as I also wrote privately to Bill). By now the list is continuously bombarded with this stuff, I'd call it (euphemism) commercial advertising by Mrs.Wells, which could be acceptable just once in a while but... she seems to be trying to make the list accept the notion that it is a crucial issue of horn playing. Hey, there are even folks who begin to wonder, about some player, if he uses it or not. Frankly, I'm beginning to be sick of seeing all the times this shower of posts by Mrs.Wells. I don't read them, but I can't avoid some of the answers catching my eye.
Just to make a comparison, there are some competent technicians in the list. When it's appropriate they give interesting answers, which BTW may let us know about their skills. That attitude is entirely correct. It would be incorrect to bombard the list several times a day just to write how better you are than all the others technicians. Finally (but not the least important point) Mrs.Wells is pretending to assume a role which is not proportionate to her qualifications and experience. I apologize to the list if some of the above is not fully correct netiquette.
