Marshall:

 

You say "we should be  aware of this sort of thing".  Inquiring minds
DEFINITELY want to know, what sort of thing do you want us to be aware of?
In your mind, exactly what  about this video clip makes it important for us
to view?  Given the sheer volume of attributions regarding your motives,
this is a golden opportunity for you to set the record straight.  

 

You said it, so it is fair to ask.  

 

My mind is open right now, but I don't know how much longer I can hold it in
this position before it slams shut again...

HI Everyone,
First, Thank you Joy for your post.  I'm glad that you didn't take the fact
I sent the clip as negative.  Thank you for seeing that I was not exercising
freedom of speech or the lack thereof but rather saying, "Here is a clip, we
should be aware of this sort of thing."  I'm glad you saw this as it was
intended.  I almost lost hope there for a minute thinking that the open
minds of folks were becoming more narrow as the years progressed, but you
opened my eyes again to the fact that there are people like you, open minded
and understanding out there.  Thanks again.  

To everyone else, the apology still stands, but as I stated, I was not using
freedom of speech, just sending out something important to view.  I didn't
once give my view of the video clip.  You guys did, but don't include me as
part of the video. I just simply sent it for every to view.  Does this
relate to pianos?  

Directly it does not, but the next president whomever it may be might choose
to tax us more for example.  The price of gas will continue to rise.  The
next leader of this country will have an affect upon us.  Since "us" here
refers to piano techs and those in the piano arena then indirectly this does
have to do with pianos.  We need to think outside the  piano case and look
at the world as a whole.   We are not one pixel but part of the big picture.
The fact I do not "own" the list as some folks here do does hold true in
that if some of you posted something that wasn't 100% related to pianos, it
would slide by like the occasional key that needs a little lost motion taken
out, or that unison next to a break in the plate that won't stay perfect.
Again, Thank you Joy for seeing this as it was intended and my apologize to
those of you who did not see it as it was intended.  Now drop the subject
and enjoy that cookout! :-)  
Marshall
