Hey, I'm just as old & curmudgeonly as Prof. Pizka (pushing 63) & I am
every bit as professional as the professor -- just not in the field of
music. (Bureaucracy is my game -- that is, was my game before I retired on
U.S. civil service pension.) Furthermore, I am highly opinionated & I have
a finely tuned baloney detector that is 2nd to none. Accordingly I have no
hesitation in sounding off in public or on the horn list, no matter whether
I know what I'm talking about or not.
In short, I can take it & I can dish it out.

Has anyone else noticed that Hans is STILL quite the

anything and my apologies for that, but it really
bothers me to watch him berate other players for their
'stupid' questions. I fear many valid
questions are not posed for fear of Hans' wrath. Does
anyone know him well enough to convince him to be a
bit less condescending? I shall now return to
the safety of the shadows. Thank you for the
opportunity to share my frustration.

Carl, you have some good points and Hans does, too.
Anyone who posts to this list needs to pass the test:
would you stand up in front of an auditorium of 1500
people and read your post out loud? Well, that is
what each of us is doing when we post to this list.
Many of us are guilty of not being careful enough, or
searching out other resources, before carelessly
grabbing the attention the 1500 readers of this list.
Hans is one of the most helpful contributors to this
list. I'm sorry that you feel the way you do about
his contributions. I know I would be much worse off
if he were to go away; certainly he has a very busy
schedule, and I am surprised that he has time to
contribute as much as he does to this list.
