Subj: [kl] Rudeness and humility
Date: Mon, 18 Jan 1999 19:15:09 -0500

I think that stereotype about Frenchmen being rude must be true, judging by
Monsieur Kloc's last response to Tom Ridenour! :P

Dear Ms Curran,

I am sorry if I gave a bad image of my country and I didn't mean to be rude, I
just try to explain myself as good as I can and since I am pationate somethime
I go off and please forgive me for that, I don't want injure or hurt anyone.

What's wrong, Francois--don't like competition?

I do like the competition and I am the first to encourage people to try as
much as they can. If you went to the last 3 ICA convention you would see that
I am doing work on every brand of instrument.to me a clarinet is a clarinet
and I don't mine working on other brand instrument.the reason Why I was upset
was that a great person and accoustician called Robert Caree dedicated his
life to make and design clarinet and I think he did very very well. I know Tom
Ridenour and I respect him. We discussed about all this together already on
the phone.

Tom has been unfailingly polite and HUMBLE in his discussions about clarinet
playing, and he also doesn't shove brand names down peoples' throats, which he
could do if so inclined.

I don't remenber me shove brand names down people throats.

Most of us REALLY appreciate you taking so much time and care to give us these
very well-thought-out points on clarinets and playing, Tom. Though Francois
meant his 'MASTER' comment to be satirical, he is quite right!!<g>

So do I and my Master Comment wasn' satirical you never mistape a word did
you/
We in France even if we are rude people'I am kidding' call the crafstman that
we are respecting Mater and it is the way I decide to call Tom because I do
think he is a MASTER and this wasn't mistape.

ps I am sure now that Roger Garret is an ESTJ. Roger, go check out the
Meyers-Briggs Type Indicator at this url//www.myers-briggs.com and let me know
if I got it right! :~)

I am sorry but I don't understand this and would like to. I am not very good
for abreviation neither.

Musically Yours

It was nice beeing part of your familly for a while but I don't want me be
thoug as a rude, not humble person and since I have no control of my poor
english yet I prefer work on it and then come back one day.

Musically Yours
