I know HN frowns upon such meta comments, but thank you for this comment! Wonderfully clear exposition - I followed along completely with your comment and now have some level of understanding of harmonics and brass instruments where I had none before. This was a good day, I learned something today that I have long been curious about!
Your disclaimer "I know HN frowns upon such meta comments, but " was the only thing wrong w your comment. (Which I upvoted). As a guitar player and former trumpet player, I dug this tangent too.
Just to reiterate the other response to your comment, meta comments are often welcomed, especially when they are expressing thanks or gratitude.
Content-less comments that derail the conversation, comments that are needlessly inflammatory - these are the kinds of meta comments that are not wanted.
