No, that is not what I said at all.

I never took the position that injuries didn't happen before the
statisticians started tabulating them.

As for Mr. Morales, I am sure he is old enough to make mature decisions
about what he wants to keep in his case. And I am also sure that neither
he, nor Zukovsky, nor Meyer, nor any number of other fine players bought
their neckstraps as impulse buys.

If you have further issues with what it is you think I said, please email
me privately. I am really surprised that you would send a message like
this to the whole group.

So Barry, My generation and my kids generation wizzed around on bikes
without the slightest thought to bike helmets and head injuries. Now
American bike racers enjoy a substantial per capita decrease in deaths and
serious head injuries because national accrediting American racing
association demands helmets in this country. If people try straps they can
make up their own minds, but the idea that diseases or injuries don't exist
because we see counter examples (my grand-daddy lived to be 85 and smoked a
pack of Pall Malls every day), or injuries failed to register according to
some historical grid from which events were recorded in the past and
flippant remarks about stuff to add to the clarinet case are in my attitude
contrary to the cooperative, open attitude which typifies this list. For
those who want to tell Ricardo Morales that he just likes to add gadgets to
his clarinet case, let me know, I can supply his address.
