Frankly, if you bring across topic matter there as you do here on the list, I have some doubt whether it is the actual subject matter or rather the representation that begets you frowns at music teacher gatherings. Telling everybody upfront that you consider them incompetent and stupid in comparison to you is not likely to be the best setter for a receptive frame of mind. -- David Kastrup
