Robert artfully sidesteps, and parries with,

Thou hath missed mine point [and that's a hefty assumption, to boot-above.
Not sure what territory I'd be holding- I play a pretty sloppy chromatic AND
diatonic].

But I was referring to threads gone awry [~debates~]. Not making a value
judgment on the chromatic/diatonic issue. This quick trigger-thing almost
makes my point. Often misunderstanding is generated [and it's not a big
deal] only because someone was thinking about a ~chromatic~ issue and was
perceived by someone as being a ~diatonic~ issue [or the other way around].
An example would be when a few of us wanted to ~name~ the holes of the
diatonic. A person who came-to-harp through chromatic could think, ~Hey. Why
not just learn to read music, they already HAVE names?~ And off you go.

But there are lots of examples of this happening. In the end, the process is
as helpful is it is irksome. They [such threads]usually end [instead of
begin] with statements like, ~Why can't people see it's all music?~
