Victor, thanks for your note. The whole reason that I got a little too
snotty at one point is that opinions are meaningless in matters of
fact. As you know, being an engineer, if something can be demonstrated
to be true or false, what actually IS is all that matters, not what you
or I THINK may be true--ie, our "opinions".

For me the attraction of music is that it is beyond proof and therefore
entirely "opinion"--therin lies a wonderful beauty that we call Art.

Regards, Robert Howe
