Just to get this one out of the way...
John Chambers says -

I've just done a quick check and I can't find the term "hypocrisy" in any
posting of mine I've still got on file (and I don't tidy up very often).  I
didn't actually make any comment at all but just compared the statements.  
The point I was actually making was that you were saying that abc2win was a
minor player and that there were thousands of tune to be corrected.  Well,
perhaps thousands is minor.

So in fact a very small proportion of its output causes problems which
suggests that it must be a very major player indeed if it still causes so
much trouble.

I don't use abc2win much so I'm not being partisan.  What worries me is the
hostile attitude.  You are hardly going to get Jim Vint on board with lines
like -

... and as for what you said about www.irishtunes.net....!

Be nice to people.
