<html><head><style type='text/css'>p { margin: 0; }</style></head><body><div style='font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000'>I would like to make a correction regarding my last post submission. Perhaps my wording was a little to sharp and I do not feel it necessary to post my submission if I have violated any guidelines of the discussion group. It is not my intention to get off topic. If on the other hand my submission is acceptable and I do trust the authority and judgement of the moderators I am not against it being posted. My understanding is that the forum is for professional theorists and students. I do not work at a university, but I am university trained in theory and I do teach it with private students and have for some time. My response was to a post that suggested a process of exclusion be implemented for the SMT discussion group moving forward which I feel is very prejudicial and offensive to those of us who are musicians and theorists not in university posts. I am an adult and very much enjoy the forum and cherish the wide range of perspectives even if I don't agree. <div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Carson Farley</div></div></body></html>
