Personally... I don't see any conflict between the quote you choose to comment on... and your comment. Unless of course the addition to the incomplete knowledge of the administrators and teachers you refer to below is not simply balanced and objective weighing of known pros and cons for their edification but reflection of your own agenda, tastes, preferences... what have you. Course now if they ask out and out for your opinion.... complete with any and all biases... then thats another matter. If they are asking for straight and balance facts however, then it be wisest IME to give that and nothing else. Cheers RicB RicB wrote.... --- big snip --- While I am personally a fan of diversity.... I am completely against forwarding my own personal agenda.... or anyones. In the end, its the administration and teachers who have to decide what is all in all best for the school, and there is a lot more involved then just whether a piano is usable or not.... tho to be sure that has to be a part of any bottom line. Cheers RicB And if these administrators and teachers seek more information from me they will expect me to be forthcoming. They ask to add to their incomplete knowledge just as I do about buying a house, a car, or a stock where I think my knowledge incomplete. If a builder or a mechanic or a stock analyst is not willing to share what they know I'd feel a little short changed - particularly if I were paying their salary. dp David M.
