Ah! Doh!!!
This thread then went off-topic about the oboe for several posts and to some other classical music, Alfred has moved those posts to a thread of their own
As mentioned by me in the note that I added to your OP over an hour ago!

It is an ill wind turns none to good.
The old saying about an ill wind always reminds me of Danny Kaye’s lyrics:
The oboe, it is clearly understood,
Is an ill wind that no one blows good.
Reputation points on forums are usually awarded to people who make helpful posts, but my ‘rep’ being high is partially due to my posting some things that, whilst not at all helpful, proved amusing enough for multiple users to click on the ‘Laugh’ button.
Oh. So when some people laughed at my ideas ...
Ah.
But as Thomas Tusser wrote,
Yet true it is, as cow chews cud
And trees at spring do yield forth bud,
Except wind stands as never it stood,
It is an ill wind turns none to good.
Ah! Doh!!!
Hehehe ... [red_devil_smilie]
There was only ever one official ‘red devil’, but when I found out that the file name was ‘devil2.gif’ it wasn’t difficult to deduce that there was also a ‘devil.gif’ in the set.

By the way, whatever happened to your smilie code? There's no link to it above right, yet you are using some of the smilies here. I seem not to be able to find it.
