When people suggest that the archives be delved into I think it is because
a lot of this has already been discussed. There is some great information
there but admittedly it can take some digging to find and some of the more
crucial bits aren't currently archived. Pat Missin's best ever article on
intonation and tunings went missing in a server crash. Blessedly it is
available on his site.
I think it is just fine and dandy that people ask these questions over and
over again. Vern hones his writing skills and every time I learn
something new from reading what for me is a very old discussion. I would
like to compliment Vern on his explanations. Either I've gotten smarter
or Vern has gotten really good at explaining this stuff. Most probably
the latter. I am somewhat disappointed that Bobbie Giordono hasn't
weighed in here. She has some very intriguing divergent ideas regarding
these topics. fjm
