There is nothing MT does to which I feel superior and a great deal in
which I stand in admiration. He and a few others on this NG have made
the courageous decision to become artisans, live (or starve) by their
trade, and have their work judged every day by persons over whom they
have no control.

When I die, there will be footnotes in newspapers in a several
countries. Maybe. When he dies, there will be hundreds of
instruments offering testimony to his craft, his art, and his
imagination. I'd prefer his epitaph to mine. What will yours
be?.....

I declare this thread spent. Time for something fresh, edifying and
hopefully, at least remotely related to classical guitar.

Oddly, enough, my 13 year old daughter had the same problem when her schoolmate expressed disapproval of the friends she choose and made it her personal quest to control this aspect of my daughter's life. You might be surprised that kids of that age can be hurt by such juvenile ploys but they are and we did seek professional help in this matter. She's fine now but it's kind of creepy to see this being used by someone over the age of 18, especially since they claim to be guy.
