[pianotech] Off List - Re: Hmmm?

[David Love]

As I said, it was off the top of my head.  Whatever the ratio is the people
and numbers are not insignificant was my point. I'm not interested in a
pissing contest.

I still do consider the list an important part of the PTG and not a group
who has simply developed an inflated sense of self importance.  Comments
were made about teachers at conventions not necessarily being participants
in the list but when I look at Westpac1, just off the top of my head, Del
Fandrich, Dale Erwin, Mike Morvan, Horace Greeley, Nick Gravagne, and Israel
Stein (no less) are all frequent participants on the list.  

You left off Roger Jolly, Don Mannino  and Paul Revenko-Jones

Just for the record, here are the names of WestPac instructors who do not
participate (or who no longer participate):

Rick Baldassin
Keith Bowman
Steve Brady
Melanie Brooks
Mike Carraher
Dbbie Cyr
Richard Davenport
Anne Garee
Zhi Wey Huang
Bob Marinelli
Laroy Edwards
Ruth phillips
Randy Potter
Paul Rea
Mike Reiter
Isaac Sadigursky
Mike Spreeman
Carl Teel
Rick Wheeler

And I left off the names of those who are just selling products - another 6
or 7 - and don't participate, like carl lieberman and the cybertuner team,
Chris Brown and such, etc. etc. . And besides there were more there who did
not teach this time - teach a lot , but don't participate on the list:

David Vanderlip
Kathy Smith
Bruce Stevens 

At the National, the proportion is still about the same.

At national conventions there are many others.  Obviously some teachers
don't participate but many do and I think the list serves as an important
barometer for what people are talking about and are interested in.  I think
it is likely that the Designer's Showcase would not have happened were it
not for the discussions on soundboard design that had taken place there over
those preceding years.  So I do hope that people stay with it and make the
necessary adjustments.  I would also be pleased to see some acknowledgment
by those who have disparaged the group based on the practices of a few that
the list has real value.  For me personally it is probably the most
important service that the PTG offers.

No matter what anybody says, the interface sucks - it is not well designed.
The other good things about the changes do not make it good.
