Robert,

It's true, you did not say I "represent" anyone.

But by definition and by sending the email you posted, you did indeed 
become a representive, not only for yourself, but also for a couple 
of hundred unnamed other persons from the PTG pianotech list whom you 
implied were with you in this matter with regards to monitoring, 
discussing and wondering, and your post clearly declares it.

I resubmit your stated post again.

$1,025.00?  Holy crap... we were all just wondering... do you feel 
guilty?

And I assure you, Robert, that I did read what you posted twice 
before responding, and by now I have read it even more times to 
insure the comments I have made, and am currently making, are 
accurate.

No two ways about it, man. That's the way it went down, and no amount 
of word play after the fact is going to change that reality.

Since I fall into the category of anyone, I appreciate your extended 
apology. As to the personal invitation to sit on your ugly couch, I 
respectfully decline.
