	Gabe by no means plays "Lord of the group, but abnyone who has read 
the group for more than a week would make the mistake of warning him that 
he might find problems in the "real world" ( Check new.users postings for

	In a groups labelled .pro, one would think a reasonable familiatity 
with basic acoustics would be a given. After all, you've got to know the
rules to break them.

	It's more a question of Gabe's ability to make judgements based on
_listening_, something less easier to learn than stock formulae.
