[pianotech] New Format--yuck

[Allan Gilreath, RPT]

John,

Yes, various people who participate in the lists on a regular basis were 
consulted as were people who don't participate (for a variety of 
reasons.) The general discussion group will remain but those who prefer 
a much lower signal to noise ratio will be able to follow specific, 
serious trains of thought should they so desire.
