OT [Fwd: [DISCUSS] Microsoft limits XML in Office 2003]

[Keith Roberts]

Hi Don, I was under the impression that this is a list for piano technicians
to discuss piano related issues. As Andy and others have posted, there is
not any good reasons for posting OT. So yes, Hechler's post was in bad
taste. It wasn't an off shoot of a relevant post, it was  promotion of a
personal opinion, unrelated to pianos. It has as much place on this list as
my opinions on hydrogenated vegetable oil. By your logic, everyone on this
list eats food so it would be appropriate for me to post information from my
cardio-rehab class on how that substance lowers your good cholesterol levels
and raises your bad cholesterol levels and is a prime contributing factor in
the incidence of heart disease at younger ages than ever before. Sure,
posting that might help somebody on this list but that is not a good reason
in light of the millions of unrelated topics out there that could clutter
this list and make it absolutely worthless to the majority of us.
