>Life is hard engouh without Men like you behaving in this nasty way.

This is a sexist comment which I find offensive. I'm sure you would not 
tolerate being singled out as a female behaving in stereotypical negative 
ways. You were the one who appealed for help because you were just a 
woman.

Its not a matter of being nasty - no matter your gender or mine. 
1. I think that you are relying on people here to do your work for you - 
very specifically answering questions from your teacher. If you don't 
even know what an octave is, how to you hope to understand any of this 
discussion? You are in a class right? What books did your teacher expect 
you to read to answer these questions? A teacher would not ask you to do 
something if it were impossible... at least not most teachers. 

2. We have had a number of recent incidents of sexist comments, or 
perceived sexist comments, and in that framework, I hope you would be 
enlighted to see the implicit sexism in your own comments - subtle but 
unmistakable.

Of course, anyone can say anything they want here, and I am not the 
administrator here. However, if I have to watch this public display go on 
and on and on, then I have a right to comment on it also. I see this kind 
of thing all the time, students these days are just plain lazy. If they 
can get other people to do their work for them, they will and don't even 
think there is anything wrong with that. How do we know these various 
answers aren't being transcribed directly into a wordprocessor and being 
turned in on Monday morning with "Debbie's" name written on the top of 
the sheet?

Have a good week.
