   Well, as Turley has demonstrated several times already, he's either
deliberately annoying or clueless about how he follows up to posts by
sending a duplicate copy to my mailbox. Repeated requests to ONLY post
to csa2 such followups went ignored. Thus, any and all email from him
to me is sent to the electronic equivalent of the 'round file'.

   It's been far less tiresome after I instituted that. At least I
don't have any interest (or experience) in GS sound/music programming,
so I don't have Turley trying desperately trying to get me onboard for
NTGS 2.x (it's been 3+ years since Turley first tried to draft me for
that, so that's definitely in the running for longest GS
vaporware). Also, Ian's got several GS music programs that are mostly
unreleased; Turley's desperate to pirate betas of anything, so he'll
pester folks until he gets his hands on those.

   In short: Turley is incapable of getting the message to SHUT UP,
as the recent ramblethons he's done demonstrate. Thus, you DON'T
want to have to deal with him any more than necessary.
