[pianotech] Was Wurzen Felt.....New topic forums?

[Jeff Cutler]

Hi Dale,

Indeed the difference is true. And sad to see the former discussion lead to
the sort of name calling and extreme responses as noted
by today¹s post inviting John down south to get his just desserts, the
invitation was worded in slightly stronger language, but you
get the point. This is exactly the sort of degeneration that brought my
concern forth. As I mentioned, I value the give and take on the
board and cannot wait to put faces to names such as yours, John Forsma, Will
Truitt, Al Guercia, et.al. (sic, I am sure).
The position I am transitioning from deals largely with proofreading and web
site maintenance. I would be happy to ride herd on such
a list serve for the PTG and would not hesitate to cyber-slap an offenders
wrist. All sides should have their say, but let¹s keep it clean, eh?

Thenx fer yer suporrt!

Happy New Year
Jeff

P.S. - Enjoy the Spruce!
