I would like to echo that, though I'm usually guilty about not telling him 
where I am.  Not modesty, just sheer lack of organisation!

I love that idea of being perfectly out-of-tune.  Maybe we should not say 
"out of tune," as that has pejorative undertones (no pun intended), but 
adopt a politically-correct expression for it.  How about 
"differently-intonated?"  Heheh!
