I am having trouble with this word "guest", or maybe I am having trouble
with how I am perceiving it is being used in regards to Pianotech.  I
service a university, yet I feel like a guest at times.  I don't feel I
have a free license, but a priviledged license to be here.

And as mundane as this might sound, my idea of a guest is someone who
doesn't have to ask if they can use the bathroom in my home, I have already
indicated to them where it is.  That is what I perceive in Jack Reeves
invitation.

In much the same fashion, I would suspect that a "guest" would not have to
ask permission to ask a question that is pertinent to their piano
profession.  However, there is no guarantee that the responses received
will be to one's liking, if any are even received at all.  No one is
afforded that luxury in this medium.  Responses come as a result of honest,
courteous, sincere, and/or respectful posts.

Hoping for a new list may or may not be a constructive path.  However, I
have not seen the owner of this list say, "You are not invited."
