Thread Name: Tune Req: Glencoe (J Scott Skinner)
Subject: RE: Tune Req: Scott Skinner's 'Glencoe'
7th post, but we don't need to argue the toss about that.  Yes, I do take the point, and I didn't mean to be off-putting, but, as I said, I was obviously talking about the site, which Cantrip hadn't been able to look at.  The fact that I consider that particular site to be worthless for any serious enquirer is completely irrelevant to Cantrip's kind contribution, and I don't see how my opinion of the site could possibly be thought to reflect upon him; after all, as he made clear, he wasn't in a position to check it out.

If you've read some of my posts, you might have noticed that I tend to try to answer the question asked as directly as possible; if I refer to a post preceding my own, it is with good reason and should never be imagined to be some sort of personal slight.  If I have offended him, then I can only apologise for that; it was not my intention.  There are only so many hours in the day, however, and my intent is to help people to find the information they are looking for in what is inevitably a limited amount of time (that staff transcription was not made instantly) and I can't be putting smileys all over the place just in case.  If you don't like my style, then you're at liberty to see if you can do better.  [Just this once, then: :>)]

We have already taken up enough space in this thread; please feel free to pm me if you want to discuss it further.  That might have been the best thing to do in the first place, but I'd far rather we could meet up for a few drinks some time; I'm a lot easier to get on with than you might think.
