Our readers will recall that Sloths over Ethiopia published a rant written
by Swedish keyboardist Jens Johansson about what he fucking hates in
keyboarding today in issues #0054-#0056, as well as a response from Robert
Bennett in issue #0056 and a rebuttal from Mr. Johansson to Mr. Bennett in
issue #0057. The following is Mr. Bennett's rejoinder to Mr. Johansson.

i don't know what this proves, except that you (or your "text analysis"
program) can't spell the word "character" properly.
yeah, i was probably a bit harsh. but shouldn't a guy into schnittke,
zappa, stravinsky et al be a bit more open-minded?

It was a quick hack. Your text generation algorithm seems to have problems
capitalizing!

Yeah! I would have thought! Why the hostility!? It's only a piece of text.
Jeez! I have your domain blocked now, to ease your suffering.
Anyway, IRT key solos, I advise you to play long, meandering lines. Play
faster than you're able to. Be sure to react slowly to chord changes,
defend it as "bitonality". Lastly, use a lame, stock digital synth patch
that will fry the ears of your listeners. Good luck! :)
