I have to agree with you on this one. I have a degree in music and
have taught private lessons and junior high band since 1979, BUT, I have
learned some wonderful information and heard great opinions on this
list. I believe that everyone has valid questions and good information
to share.
I personally am tired of hearing people on the list attempt to
FLAME others with their petty opinions about things that have nothing to
do with clarinet, or other music related subjects. And even though most
of the people on this list use it as a forum to help and encourage
others, or get information that was not available to them before, some
continue to criticize others for things that are not really pertinant to
this list.
I personally would like to see a better attitude develop which
would only help to further the cause of great clarinet playing! I hope
that all on this list would consider it a priviledge to participate in
such a worthy endeavor!

Just my humble opinion,

Deborah
