To love this God means, among many other things, that we will be hungry to get to know Him better; conversely, in learning His words and ways, His attributes and His glory, what He loves and what He hates, we will find that our understanding of what it means to love God, what it means to love enemies, what it means to love brothers and sisters in Christ, will all be progressively modified and enriched. Precisely because, as created, dependent, and redeemed creatures, we are called to love our Creator, our Sovereign, our Redeemer with heart and soul and strength and mind, we will be firmly led to think robustly about what He is like, how He views evil, what rights and responsibilities He gives to the state in a fallen world, His role both in making peace and in judgment, and, above all, His commitment to His own glory as God.

I say:

Without in any way wanting to comment as to whether
Buzz Feiten tuning is better or worse than other
systems, I tend to agree with Josh that the patent
itself is shaky.

In the case of the Feiten tuning we essentially have
two things different to standard tuning: a movement of
the nut, and different intonation settings. Given that
moving the nut pretty much makes different intonation
settings mandatory, and that other manufacturers have
been using different nut positioning for a _long_ time
(on and off), I just don't see why the system is
worthy of a patent, no matter how great it is in
actual effect.

(I guess I'm saying that while I respect the
innovation I don't think it is enough of a _new_
innovation to be actually patentable.)

Thanks,

N.
