[TPIN] Solotone Substitution

[Tim Phillips]

I thought by putting this sentence in the my post,
"I realize the person who originally posted was asking about the mute - 
which is a professional thing to do...    "
you wouldn't take offense - and it wasn't intended to point the finger 
at you at all...

As limited as my experiences are, I was just relaying my reaction to 
Mike's comments on this subject as a contractor - I was trying not to 
step on your toes. 

Since I am back on the soapbox... another is the gig calling for black 
pants, socks and shoes - someone inevitably shows up with navy or worse....
