Pianotech list

[David Ilvedson]

James,

As you are new to the Lists, I will inform you that all you write has 
been transcribed many times over but by others on the Lists.  I 
don't know the number, but many have left Pianotech and have 
stayed on CAUT, as you say for the time being.  Pianotech 
continues to have a large membership.  Pianotech has become, for 
better or worse, a place to socialize...a chat room for piano 
technicians and wanna bees.  I don't mean to disparage this 
because I think those on the List like it that way...I, for one, hope 
CAUT will continue to be mostly technical...

David Ilvedson, RPT
