He's not going to change his opinion or when he offers it on this list just because you don't like it. You insulting him doesn't really improve the situation for anyone, I'm afraid. It's been tried before by others (including me). -snip- > Discipline has nothing to do with overcoming medical issues. > Though some medical issues can be overcome or affected > positively by discipline and all sorts of physical exercises > (including playing the horn), some medical issues directly > impact the face and chemical reactions to food and beverage > are indeed medical issues.

A lot of people resort to taking pills for things they really don't need to and, as you say, a lot of people have legitimate medical issues for which a pill is the best solution. > I had a legitimate question for the entire list - does anyone > have any issues with certain foods/beverages and know the cause's)? > > Your insulting answer is the kind of response that keeps > participation on the list minimal as people are afraid to ask > or answer questions for fear that they'll be insulted. Maybe it's just me, but the prospect of Hans disagreeing with me hasn't caused me to keep quiet but, then again, neither has my own ignorance on many horn-related matters; maybe it is just me, after all, but I have learned a lot here from you, from Hans, and from many other people, too. > Sorry for the rant (directed to the members of the list), but > if you really have nothing to contribute but insults and > judgment, please consider not hitting "send." Well, I'm going to go upstairs and practice the French Horn, and I hope everyone else here does likewise. My best wishes to everyone here for a good holiday season and a healthy and prosperous 2009. -S- _______________________________________________ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
