At the risk of being called a big party pooper, I must say that I agree
whole heartidly with what Dennis said.  I don't have all that much free
time to scan my mail, and find it fairly tedious to sort through the chaff
of one-liners and silly puns to get to the substance that makes this list
valuable to me.

I do not want to minimize the value of the sense of community that is
apparent on this list, but sometimes it does get a bit out of hand.  IMHO
this list should be a forum for the discussion of technical issues related
to the maintenence of piano.  Not comedy central, and certainly not a for
sale board.

Just my 02, hope I haven't offended anyone
