Apology

[Billbrpt@AOL.COM]

To all those on the List who took offense at my candid remarks, I apologize 
for the inappropriateness of the post and acknowledge that if anything, it 
should have been on PTG-L.

Sometimes, the words we casually fling about can be taken very seriously and 
have very long term consequences.  I wish as much as anyone does that the 
Pianotech List remain a free and open discussion about Piano Technology, not 
personal differences.

I have unsubscribed and will be away from my computer until next Tuesday.  I 
would very much prefer to participate in Pianotech writing scholarly and 
to-the-point posts about piano tuning and other aspects of piano technology, 
not about personal traits and personal opinions.

Our profession is by nature empirical.  To prevent others from getting the 
most out of it by politics, social pressure and intimidation is tantamount to 
restraint of trade.  There must be room for the discussion and implementation 
of new ideas and techniques.

Sincerely,
Bill Bremmer RPT
