===A disclaimer===
 
Many naysayers claim a great dichotomy between 'talking' and 'doing something'. They forget that talking IS doing //something//. From [[http://www.marxists.org/subject/education/freire/pedagogy/ch03.htm|Paolo Friere]] ([[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paulo_Freire|Wikipedia article]]) (whom I, xenjacob, recommend), //mere// action is just as undesirable as //mere// words.
 
===A word of advice===
 
Everything said is said by someone. To gain a sensible view of what's going on, observe not only what is said but by whom it is said. This way you can be sure to
commit more often the fallacy of argument from authority.
 
==Active discussion lists==
 
[[http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/tuning/|Yahoo tuning list]] - the oldest mailing list about tuning. If you ask a good question, you will receive some good answers. A large membership means potential for a huge variety of voices, which has been sometimes squelched by over-posting by the [[tuning regulars|"regulars"]]. For a hand-selected digest, see [[tuning list reviews]]
 
[[http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/tuning-math/|Yahoo tuning-math list]] - An outgrowth of [tuning], a haven for the math-savvy. Much of [[contemporary temperament theory]] was developed by people here.
 
[[http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/MakeMicroMusic/|Yahoo MakeMicroMusic list]] - Another outgrowth of [tuning], in the direction of, let's hear some music! The emphasis is on sharing original microtonal music, which sometimes unfortunately devolves into endless tech-talk.
 
[[http://www.nonoctave.com/forum/|nonoctave forum]] - A forum on XJ Scott's website, frequented by some of the more hermit-prone microtonalists.
