Actually, if you read even more closely, I simply agreed with Walter's
assessment that he may be over advertising. Check out the order of
posts. My response to the advertising issue only occurred after he wrote:

"If you read Mr. Garrett's post carefully, you will see that he (obliquely)
accused me of making false and misleading statements to this list for the
purpose of boosting sales of my mouthpieces."

My comments regarding disagreement with reeds playing longer by virtue of a
specific mouthpiece was part of the original post - and I reconfirmed it
with a later post. That's about it.

Walter didn't read between the lines, because there were no lines to read
between.

Best,

"If I were to try to read, much less answer, all the attacks made on me,
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."
