I was the one who made the post that so infuriated Warren
Rosenberg. So here is my response.

I just don't react to sarcasm and insults, which appears to be
your method of operation. So, I suggest you shove your attitude
high up where it is red.

It is clear you know nothing about the almost nonexistent effect
that materials have on the sound of the clarinet. And since you
have not read and seem to know nothing about the last four-years
worth of on-and-off discussion on the subject, I am not going to
bring to you the education that you sadly need.

So go home, little boy. Study. Read. Learn something.

What a stupid, bummed out, condescending reply you have just
made,
Professor.
I don't believe what I just read!
I've been reading every message for the last 3 months and I don't
remember
ever seeing a note regarding the independence of materials and
their sound
as you imply. So my question to you, Professor Acoustics, is why
is
Grenadilla wood emphasized as THE WOOD for clarinets as opposed
to plastic,
rubber, paper mache, and anything else which might be suitable
for outdoor
use, rain, etc. Is it just a marketing ploy? So be it if it is.
But I
resent your tone in your answer, and now we know why people just
don't like
to get along. Perhaps you need to open your throat; enhance your
embouchure.

What's news to me is how people who claim to be musicians, makers
of music,
can have such foul dispositions. Now that's news!
