Well now Jurgen - Nice of you to write and wrun. Unfortunately I won't be able to make it to the Calster State Convention this time. I can't tell you how happy it made me to see that some semblance of humor got through without resorting to smilies. That you got it mixed up is a minor or diminished detail. Regarding the "line cord", which is actually called "trick line" or "tie line", it actually works to stabilize an easy rolling 2" caster, on a flat floor. Of course, if the piano is located on a ramp, or if you are playing piano-bocce (or curling, or shuffleboard), or it it is otherwise in motion, trying to apply this method is not recommended. Otherwise, a flattened pinky would seem an unlikely outcome. Toes? That's another story. As for Ron's comments about judicial inequality, I'd look for someone to run for office on a platform "Flat rates for Flattened Pinkies!" I just don't know what office.
