Didn't think you could answer

yep
guess now I know who is a player…
and who is not.
:roll:

as Benjamin Disraeli said: “To be conscious that you are ignorant is a great step to knowledge.”

too bad some people are just doomed to a life of unconsciousness.

and, to sum up why there is actually a www.rudallrose.com and why I SHARE all that information with everyone (and credit the information to the appropriate sources all the time, not impart as my own, as some would have you believe!):
“It is no good to try to stop knowledge from going forward. Ignorance is never better than knowledge.” – Enrico Fermi

sigh
this practice gets tiring for the rest of you, doesn’t it?
oh well

one parting shot (worthy of the salvo):
“I’m not sure I want popular opinion on my side – I’ve noticed those with the most opinions often have the fewest facts.”
–Bethania McKenstry
(lets see…I have how many posts since joining and he has…ah…many more in a much shorter time frame. Amazing how some quotes just fit, eh?)

When did Andrew profess to be a player??? It seems this whole
discussion was about you IN abilility to spot an F flute, for a self
claimed expert this is rather laughable, maybe this is why you are
so keen on changing the subject, or was it the fact that Andrew caught
you beeing less than honest (not to say dishonest, it seems you dont
like to have your integrity beeing questioned) about estimating the
flute, which in your line of work, selling flute at a profit after patching
one thing or two is not entirely surprising. You so called expertise is
laughable at best and your character is detestable, please tell me what
ever happen to your cherished and blessed vows not to ever pollute this
board??? You only proffit from those who dont know much about flutes
selling them the work of others at proffit, in french we do have a name for your like, marchand de tapis.

It’s just ego.
Please stop, everybody.

Dave, people are going to take jabs at you.
It’s part of the human condition.
If you respond in this way you are at their mercy.
You will suffer, we will lose you,
and a couple of months later it will
all seem laughable to you.

I will bear hard words as the elephant in battle
bears arrows, for I know most men
speak foolishly. The Dhammapadda

The hardest thing to do is master oneself.

Dave, please ignore these posts and threads.

If you can’t simply change the subject,
stop posting until they stop. Peace.

I agree with Jim. There are some assholes on this board, and you’re not one of them Dave.

Cheers
