Going where angels fear to tread.... I know Inky is defending the one true faith and all that, which I respect, but when one falls back onto technique as the ultimate while seeming to not hear amazing technique (even if one doesn't agree philosophically with all of it) one's argument is made to appear as a leaky boat upon choppy waters. As for choytes and slides, the comments look like the kind of axe fall I've seen on many a judging sheet in Highland piping competions: I'd hate to see Northumbrian Smallpipe-playing go in that direction.
