Bob, -----Original Message----- From: owner-pianotech@ptg.org [mailto:owner-pianotech@ptg.org]On Behalf Of RptBob1@AOL.COM Sent: Thursday, May 11, 2000 5:46 PM To: pianotech@ptg.org Subject: Re: probably another annoying observation/not at all <<<...It is getting increasingly annoying to find so much time spent on such piano-related questions as "Looks" and other innocuous non-piano related subjects.>>> I somewhat agree with you on this point--depending on how my day has gone. :-) However, it is merely *my* personal preference regarding the list. Sometimes the banter and frivolity is quite good. It behooves me to remember that I am only one participant on the list. Since I am not in charge of what is permissible to post, I simply deal with the messages that come through every day. Some days I have time to read all of the posts, and other days I get pretty delete-happy. :-) It is something that we just learn to deal with. It is good to skim thru a message very quickly. Sometimes I can go thru 40-50 messages in 5 minutes or less. "Eat the chicken--throw out the bones" works well. BTW, there are companies that allow folks to have a list free of charge. www.topica.com is only one of them. If there are enough techs who want only technical discussion, maybe another list could be started. I like pianotech, and will stay on it, but can handle technical discussion from another list.
