Wim,
         I'm surprised that I haven't read this comment already but my take=
=20
is "Who cares?" You're still getting paid right? I'm sure that there are=20
plenty of other things you could turn your attention to what with as many=20
pianos as you have care over. Do you feel that your livelyhood is in=20
jepordy?  Are they looking to replace you? Let it go I say. It's not worth=
=20
the trouble and you can only come out looking bad either attempting to put=
=20
yourself superior either before or after the fact or complaining before the=
=20
other tech even gets there. Water under the bridge. My 2 cents.
