"Gay clientele" was RE: Erard Grand Piano

"plastic crappy tubing prone to leakage"

You know, what might appear to be "crappy" to you might be all that the
former home owners could afford. I'll bet that they had many a pleasant
flush through all that "crappy" plumbing. You and I who know more than the
average person about plumbing material quality quickly realize that copper
is quite the superior material to use. But we should not berate the choice
of "crappy" plastic plumbing for those less informed, or those that cannot
afford copper.

Gee, did I read a similar post when I characterized a M&H Aeolian console as
"pukey"?   :-)
