Now here is a misrepresentation on the grandest scale: The review in CG was of the 1984 printed edition, not on the 1997 on line edition. And thank you for stating the obvious, that you deliberately ignored some thing that you knew very well of its existence, which is exactly what I am talking about. Mistakes or otherwise, you pretended that the you just found the R&BS copy, when in fact, the very edition which you chose to criticize 8 years ago, contained the full details on the location of the original, and copies of it were reproduced in my on-line LTTE.

Thank you for once again, confirming that you knew all along that this edition existed and that your pretensions of finding it were false. >If Schulz (Schultz) wanted to use an Italianized form of his first >name,so what? That's not the issue. The issue is that you don't know if Schulz ever wanted to use an Italianized name, there is no contemporary source with him that ever used an Italianized name and, the whole thing is based on some trumped up sick imagination that emanates from you and you alone. >There's also some confusion about the spelling of Leonardo's last name. There is no confusion, unless it is in your sick mind. All the sources, including all the dictionaries, newspaper advertisement, catalog entries in the R&BS collection, and particularly, all of Schulz' publications, of which there are quite a few, always spell the name as Schulz. Without the T. Thought you'd like to know. > This reminds me, RT, that the Bambino guitar that once belonged to > Madame Robert Sidney-Pratten, You don't want to bring this canard once again. Trust me. I have prepared a rather large article on this subject last time we went through this, one which proves beyond any shadow of a possible doubt that when it comes to guitar matters you are an incompetent bumbling and moronic idiot. I have been in a charitable mood and refrained from publishing it, but if you are really interested in learning something, I will. In the meantime, just let me acquaint you with the genealogy of the Pratten family. http://www.prattens.co.uk/FAMILIES/PRATTEN/start.html This was brought to my attention by Graham Pratten, a direct descendant.
