Is our friend Matanya really bragging about owning a xerox copy of a copyrighted book? Well, 1914 would put him on the safe side, by didn't Robert Spencer die quite a few years back? All the while insinuating that the company in the Netherlands re-published the same legally or otherwise. Hmmm, Matanya, anything to say for your defense? You are the last person I thought would publicly admit to such offenses against your own profession, but there you go: who can you trust? If the book is no longer copyrighted, and if it - and this long discussion - is at all related with the lute, perhaps Matanya will share at least some of it with us online? For one thing it might help us follow his line of argumentation, which I admit so far is totally lost on me. Remember the slogan: where's the beef? Well, where's the lute in any of this? Or are you grinding the same old bone once again? Alain
