different source than I quoted and is different entirely. I was incorrect
in the second part of my last post..........sorry Lelia.

But a question to you - if you in fact took this from Metheny's website,
which I visited and appears the same, aren't you violating what you said

this shop might as well be closed for any other business. I do the very
best I know how - the very best I can; and I mean to keep doing so until
the end. If the end brings me out all right, what is said against me won't
amount to anything. If the end brings me out wrong, 10 angels swearing I
was right would make no difference."
