Jim,

         We could go round and round on this one but since it's been done=20
many times in the past I don't see the point. What I've stated before is=20
that primarily the only ones to whom RPT means anything is those if us who=
=20
know about the PTG organization. In my almost 20 years of piano service I=20
have met perhaps a handful of people in the general public who had ever=20
heard of the organization let alone the designation. Since there are=20
"master" plumbers and "master" electricians etc., I believe there is more=20
of a recognition there. That having been said I really don't use that=20
either. I get more mileage out of being the current Angie's List Super=20
Service Award winner!

my 2 cents anyway,

Greg Newell
