This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment David Anderson & David Stahl, You both have excellant ideas!<G> You both profess to dislike the = "political" aspects of PTG. Therefore you aren't involved with that. All = well and good.<G> There are those who are better suited to one thing = than another. I respect that. Those that know me, know that I am = involved with the "political" aspects of PTG, to some degree. When I was = first approached for a stint in "Council", I had to ask myself why I = would want to do that. I, too, abhor, the "politics"! There is no = apparent reason to do it, as it will not make you a better technician. = It certainly won't make you famous. And, more than likely, it will make = you some enemies. The reason I do it, is....I like to bitch about things = that go on in certain aspects of PTG. If I am involved, I feel that it = gives me "Bitchin' Rights". If I'm not, than I have not right to bitch, = IMO. The "Kick-Ass P.R. Man", will not happen, unless there is a PUSH, in = Council, to make it happen. I have thought, for years, that the General = Public Needs to be informed about us. What we do, how we achieve it and = most of all, how we can help to make their lives more enjoyable, through = music. All of the points, you both have made, are VERY valid! And, they deserve = to be heard by more Techs than just this list. I challenge you to get = involved and make this happen!<G> We need it....BIG TIME! And, quite = possibly, either or both of you can make it happen.<G> I hope to live = long enough to see such a program in place and such a P.R. person in our = employ, so to speak. I'm sure there are those that are saying: "what the heck is this doing = on the Tech List, instead of the PTG-L list?" Well, if I wrote this on = the other list, I'd simply be preaching to the choir and not the people = that can best appreciate the need. Now, of course, this is relevant to PTG Members. It should be relevant = to Non-Members, as well, since they are/have been riding along, getting = the benefits and not even spending one nickle to promote it! (This list = is a prime example.<G>) To them, I say/nay plead them to join and make = their dollars WORK for the benefit of ALL of Us! Lastly, It will probably never happen, that we have an ad on the TV = SuperBowl thingee. Those things cost Millions and we ain't in that = league. It would be nice tho............sigh!<G> Sorry to all who really don't want to see this/read it or whatever. I = write this, not to antagonize anyone, but to enlighten and continue the = intent of PTG. Best Regards to All, Joe Garrett, R.P.T.
