Tony,
Well I am very sorry about this but my mail was sent to you with good will,
yet with firm belief.

I`m sorry I have upset everyone in here also, but I am not going to
apologise for my remark to NoName/James or to the list.

I published a quite normal mail in view of the general reaction to those who
had received Martin`s CD. Noname/James then very strongly hinted that some
were (are) indeed disapproving of Martin`s CD, and he then disapproved of my
mail anonymously to boot. Why did he (should he) want to publicise that he
was infering that others do not like the CD at all then, if he was thinking
that to do this, he, (or others) would be hurting Martin to some degree?
Why not instead contribute towards the list in a discussion about the CD
first and formost, and as a result of which the "likes and dislikes" would
be aired publicly, of which Martin would no doubt fully understand this,
having put himself on the line in the first place. He would have been only
too willing to come forward earlier than two weeks ago to explain all about
the production of the CD. He would have done this two years ago.

What happens next then? Everyone who likes the CD says so, and everyone who
doesn`t keeps stumm? Hmmm. When we contribute anything in here we all put
ourselves on the line to be criticised. Well what happened? This has been
done in a wimpish way, and now by many. This is supposed to be a list where
we can openly discuss clarinets and clarinet players. Instead, blame has
been put upon me and I am now the scapegoat, when the real culprits are
cowering behind their `puters, one of them having thought up a way to voice
this dislike of the CD in as sly as possible way to promote discord and
mischief.

Well I fell for it didn`t I?! But I repeat calmly, I am not going to
apologise because it is not I who has caused mischief in here with what I
said, whether some thought it out of order or not.

Now to finish, we must all move on. I don`t want anyone else to shoot silly
schoolboy one-liners at me, as this is indeed still happening.
I have been quite shocked at some remarks, quite unwarranted.

Perhaps NoName/James himself can help to quell this stupidity by
contributing a little more about on-topical subjects, which is what he
should be doing, instead of whatever it is in addition to being
"entertained".

I love y`all, even tho` you may think otherwise.
Best,
Tony W.
