[pianotech] Gen-u-whine Steinway parts:OT RANT

[Paul Milesi]

David L:  If I understand you correctly, I think maybe you're missing an
"improvement" of a few months ago, whereby you can receive emails from the
new list, and simply hit "Reply" in your email client (not the "respond"
link at the bottom of the body of the email) and respond by email.  That
works now, and that's what I just did to respond to your email, below.
Basic back-and-forth email works fine.

Unfortunately, you still need to use the website to place items in the
library, or attach them to emails, or to say "my two cents" using symbols.
That, as they say, is the rub.

Hope maybe this is some help/insight.

Not exactly, unless there¹s something new.  When you respond to the HL
system (hitting reply to discussion) it takes you to the web link in whose
format you then respond.  For uploading photos or other docs you have to go
through their protocol.  With the old list you simply respond to the email,
attach, send, etc.  Many fewer steps.  Also, to initiate a topic on HL you
must first go to my.ptg.org and sign in etc.  On the old list you can just
shoot off an email.  If something has changed with the new format then
please fill me in.

Hmm,   I don't know, exactly, what I signed up for, but I get emails from
both lists.  I can respond to them as emails.  I don't see strange posts
when I take the trouble to go to the PTG website and crawl through the
labryinth to the postings.

Am I missing something, ?

I would rather see those who are in the position to do so start the search
again for something that would replace both the old list and the HL one.  I
think I would slash my wrists if I had to use the HL list exclusively.  I
haven¹t done a head count, but it seems to me that more people are still
using the old list over the new one.  I get everything from both lists
dumped into my Outlook Mailbox, and just delete anything I do not want to
keep.  One could only hope that the search for a better replacement would be
done with greater wisdom and the benefit of hindsight with HL¹s problems and
quirks.
