   Hello,   
    ,   
   it's interesting to notice that opinions may diverge so much.   
   It would indeed be a pity if all of us had the same opinion.   
   This newsgroup just lets us express our views,   
   so if you disagree, come up with your statements !   
      
   After your statement above, I'l give the trumpet solo another chance,   
   taking into account your comments !   
      
   best regards,   
   R-ton
