I must remark on an extremely disturbing point in Bill Edinger's
statement.... See below.

>While a thoughtful debate is always an enjoyable experience, I'm very
>disturbed by the collective attitude of some posters (regarding the
>Mozart K 622) that "if you feel like doing it, it's just as valid as any
>other interpretation, and anyone who disagrees is an arrogant fool."
>These kids expect to make it as professionals?

How the H=!! do you know who in this conversation is a proffesional and who
is not. Most of us have yet to reveal what we do for a living! And there's
probably a few of us who don't use our real names! You could be speaking to
Larry Combs, Richard Morales, or Richard Stolzman; or maybe all three.
Don't make arrogant statements presuming that you are more experienced than
others on this list unless you know for sure!!!

>Sorry guys, but when you
>find yourselves in a world of real professionals and go around with
>attitudes like that, you're going to have one heck of a hangover from
>your scholastic partying years. This applies to any professional field
>of work, even the arts - and maybe especially the arts. You can't

Once again. how do you know who you're addressing; how do you know that
"we're" all in school; or that none of "us" are professionals.
I think that you need to be alot more careful with what you say from now on;
unless you want to get continually flames for making careless statements!
Angrier than Ever,
