To: "ManOfHorns" a.k.a. R.G. Burrage:

Your "OOPS-- SORRY" apology should be for posting such a blatant and
obnoxious commercial advertisement on the Klarinet forum. I, for one, do
not welcome the prospect of finding these overblown and obtrusive "plugs"
when I open my Klarinet email. They're a waste of disk space, and an
even bigger waste of my time and energy to have to witness them and then
delete. You want to hawk your wares? Make an infomercial and broadcast it
on Channel 26.
