OK,

I truly apologize for not
having surmounted all obstacles to get hold of such  literature via appropriate library lending -services.

In the first place, this could only have happened if I would have been aware
of your publications.
Apparently they weren't quoted that much, because I was not aware of them. I
am apologize again, I was stupid!

Let it be known to you that most of these 'library lending services' you
mention, are available during office hours only, so I simply don't have

access to them. Like almost all musicologists in my country graduating in
the 80s I was forced to change profession, and I would have to take holidays
to 'access those library lending services' So question: How would I have done that. You probably get paid by some university, so by taxpayers, and I travel all around over the country, and
if I could get hold of your publications, I would have to read them in my
spare time. That's something you probably can't understand.

It quite often happens that musicologists seem to see 'the light': the one
and only logical explanation for everything. Usually those musicologists from that point onwards purposively ignore any
contrary evidence, as that evidence doesn't agree with their *faith*. You definitely seem to be one of them, instead of responding to contrary
evidence, you simply attack the person who submitted the contrary evidence
and make him look like stupid

I only reply in this fashion because evidently you have seen fit on purpose
to offend and humiliate me in public.
As I can read French I also read your other comments on me in your post to
Mr. Chazot.
I definitely don't consider such behavior as civil and appropiate to a scientist, and right now I can only assume you can't *proof* your theories
are true, as for the second time in succession you avoid debate and instead
attack me and make me look silly. I'm very grateful to you for this!!!

I apologize for this kind of reply, I will leave you alone with your radiant
truth.

Regards,
