I feel strongly that these fears are groundless. I can't imagine a
lot of net surfers spending money to call technicians out of their
area. Local technicians can be found in the phone book - those are
free calls. It doesn't seem likely that somebody would say "That
technician didn't want to talk to me, so I think I'll call this one in
Timbuktu instead." The toll calls would stop it.
I agree that every technician has to have the right to be left off the
list. This is necessary. It should be a line on the dues form, or
something like that, to prevent having to do special mailings.
A WWW page for PTG would be written to promote RPTs and their
qualifications. A listing is needed to make it easy for piano owners
to get in touch with an RPT in their area. Adding a layer of
difficulty, and burdening our home office staff with giving referrals,
would defeat the purpose of using the Web.
