JM>level. Another idea was to have those 90% of the subscribers who don't JM>contribute to the dialogue unsubscribe and access the archive on WWW every JM>few days.

You can always subscribe JM>to BOTH listservs! I have been waiting for an opportunity to contribute here but, although I have been an RPT for almost 20 years, and fill-in a few weeks a year at a university, the conversations here are simply too esoteric for me. A list, not necessarily for beginners, but for technicians to share their experiences and offer help to others with a perplexing tech question would be great. However, it seems that for the general public to have access to this sort of thing would hinder its usefulness, particullarilly if problems are related to a particular brand of piano or regarding customer/technician/manufacturer/retailer relations. I am personally hoping that the PTG will provide its members with a small multi-line BBS which would provide forums to enable technicians to discuss the various aspects of our profession freely. A QWK/REP Mail Door allowing fast retrieval and offline reading would make any long distance charge minimal. Perhaps it could also have a file area or two to provide reference text files and shareware programs that may be of use in running our buisness better. --- * SLMR 2.1a * We are masters of our destiny but slaves to our taglines.
