Hmm... Mental hazards of playing clarinet? I got one, driven insane by a
brass playing director, and an instrument biased section. I'm the First
Chair of a group of idiot trombone players --; Wouldn't know what to do with
a clarinet if they were given one... In fact, I think, as a half-trombone
player, the woodwinds are rather receptive to me, while those of my primary
instrument type, forsake me, despite my chair... Does anyone think this
could be jealousy, or am I just paranoid?

Paranoia, there's a mental hazard...
