Thanks for your comments Dean. I take your observations on board and 
agree. I'm sure most contributors and subscribers to this list are 
passionate about piano technology. We wouldn't otherwise take the 
time to partake in what the Pianotech list has to offer. Subscribing 
is a time consuming process for most of us.

Just yesterday morning my wife, Kristie, and I met Roger Jolly and 
his wife Maree when they arrived early in Sydney, to take a short 
holiday before heading down to Adelaide by train to present classes 
at the Australasian Piano Technicians Convention, July 22 - 25.

We recently received permission from the Sydney Conservatorium to 
borrow the Overs no. 5 for exhibit at the Adelaide convention. So for 
any who might wish to take a few days off at a piano convention in 
the south of Australia, it can now double as an opportunity to see 
one of our pianos if you are interested. For further information on 
the Convention please contact Robin Stevens, 
mailto:mmrr6596@bigpond.net.au (unfortunately the APTTA website is 
down at present. We'll be looking into this matter later on today).

Roger, as is usual for him, was pretty keyed-up when he hit the 
tarmac. Although they hadn't slept much over the 20 or so hours they 
had endured on their flight from Saskatoon, following an eat out 
breakfast Roger was ready for quick city tour. We took a run around 
some of the visual and cultural highlights of our city, including 
also a Conservatorium visit for a quick look at our no. 5. 
Fortunately the piano was in the Music Workshop with Stuart's concert 
grand, which was purchased by the Conservatorium quite recently also.

By the time we toured a few more sites and had lunch, travel 
weariness finally overtook our two guests. So we bid them good day 
for the time being. We had a most enjoyable morning.

Getting back to your post Dean, I find the most dangerous thing for 
me, diplomacy-wise, is to reply to a post and send it off 
immediately. I think we can be prone to writing stuff which is bit on 
the hot side in the heat of the moment. Delaying a post until the 
next morning allows for a review which can allow for a certain amount 
of de-steaming.

We could probably help our lot if we cool it occasionally, and I'm 
referring to myself also in regard to this matter. The recent history 
of certain matters pertaining to international events, might well 
have had a better outcome if the protagonists on both sides had 
pulled back on their respective headstrong approach, to realize that 
many innocent lives have been spent in what history may view to be to 
an exercise in futility.

We are indeed fortunate to be still here.

Thank you.
