To all my valued and needed patients,

Indeed I am still here and well and am much indebted to my esteemed colleague Dr. OM Dreadnought for stepping into the breach whilst I was away from my office on urgent business tending to the heatbreaking needs of some of our world music colleague (I like to think of myself as polyvalent) with their kora, domra, tabla, oud and bamboo flute problems.

Dear Clueless Clyde,

Indeed, I would relieve you of those chords myself were it not for the fact that I only use those particular augmented chords and no other and therefore have a personal surplus of them.

My worthy and esteemed colleague Dr. OM Dreadnought has already proferred you some sound advice with which I readily concur.

Another suggestion from my site would be to offer them up on the following site which has a special forum for the needy and where someone in great distress may want (really, really want) them and may, if they are really special, like augmented 7b9, or really rare, like the augmented 7#9 (the so-called "precious" amongst the really needy and thought to be the original inspiration for Tolkien's Gollum's desription of The Ring) be prepared to pay good dollar for them.
