Mike why should you presume I was referring to myself?
The discussion I responded to was lamenting the fact that
internationally the CT was saddled with a description which
included the term FALSE in falsetto.
My objection on behalf of any casual opera goer was to the
poaching of the name TENOR as a means of remedying that
lamentation. Yes I was using as an example, the fact that the
word GAY had been purloined to add a bit of respectability to the
image of the homosexual community and I make no apology for
having done so. Do all you guys have such a restricted
imagination that it's impossible for you to extrapolate beyond the
bloody obvious? I am laughing. Reg
