Just to say that it would be a shame if two people I regard as colleagues were to fall out. After all, you're both 'proper' musicians, as opposed to the sort of self-aggrandising, equipment-touting louts who normally swan about here.
See, I don't think Robert was being obnoxious – just representing what, after all, is the way it is.
My own story in this vein is that I was once playing 'Mother Goose' on a recording with a very good friend of mine conducting – it was his own orchestra, actually, in which I was playing guest principal. The crucial solo low E was flat on the new (old) clarinet I was using, and when he pointed this out, I had to tell him that there was nothing that I could, at that moment, do about it.
"But, I thought you were supposed to be GOOD?" he said.
