Thanks to Dan for the asbestos blanket - I agree (with him and others) that
most of that discussion should have taken place off-list. If I could just
add one small reminder:

The list could have a lot more heavy names on it than we know. Jonathan
Cohler is a regular contributor, but David Shifrin, Karl Leister, or anyone
else could be lurking on the list using a pseudonym. I believe James Galway
used to read the Flute mailing list that way (maybe still does).

I say this, having just said I find Leister's solo recordings "relatively
boring"... :-}
