Good one, William. I will add that I HATE those crummy grape nuts...tastes like saw dust to me...
Now will someone else add to the discussion extolling the virtues of just how wonderful they are to eat, and maybe how they will allow one to play 5 octaves instead of the usual 4 octaves all due to the fact that they eat them every day with Splenda instead of sugar.... Discuss this as we've discussed the BE thread "until I've thrown up several times in my mouth". Can I shill how I like Cheerios or Shredded wheat instead of Grape Nuts?

Ms. Wells has found great success with the approach she espouses, and her enthusiasm is, no doubt, completely sincere. I think she's gotten the message from this thread on the list that a bit less would be considered more appropriate behavior by many of us, and I therefore think it's time we give her the room to digest what's been said and change her behavior here. For me, I now say "basta" to the entire conversation, both pro and con, on this subject. I hope we return to arguing about other things instead. :) -S- On Tue, Aug 16, 2011 at 1:57 PM, Daniel Canarutto <daniel.canaru...@unifi.it> wrote: > 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.
