Joe, with 50+ emails a day and so many other priorities in life, one must prioritise things to some extent. I delete "Birdcage" posts and "Partials & Octaves" posts - not because I know it all, not because I am a snob, and, with respect to the "Birdcage" posts, not because I necessarily lack ability. Admittedly, the reason I delete most tuning posts without reading is because I can't understand them! - and yes, I know I should, but right now I am concentrating on bridges and soundboards and pinblocks and agraffes, etc. - I can only handle 5,000 new things at a time! Understand though that many of us simply choose to bypass some post topics. Keep in mind that most technicians don't read ANY of these posts because they choose to not subscribe to the pianotech list! So anyone that picks and chooses to at least read some of these posts is potentially way lower on the "snobbery" or "lack of ability" scale that most others! I know you have a love for the squares. I also have respect for them - not as a high performance instrument, but as a unique antique that also can be made to play/sound suprisingly well.
