I for one would hate to see the list moderated in any way - but the person
has been asked politely by several people - both on the list and privately
- to no avail. Therefore, it would seem this kind of posting has an intent
other than to participate - more to annoy - very much like spam, bad
language, etc.

I support your decision Mark if you decide to reduce the postings (for
whatever that is worth).

A Clarinetist's Revenge is sometimes personified by the following excerpt
from the London Daily News, circa 1926:

"The saxophone is a long metal instrument bent at both ends. It is alleged
to be musical. As regards markings, the creature has a series of tiny taps
stuck upon it, apparently at random. These taps are very sensitive: when
touched they cause the instrument to utter miserable sounds suggesting
untold agony. Sometimes it bursts into tears. At either end there is a
hole. People, sometimes for no reason at all, blow down the small end of
the saxophone which then shrieks and moans."
