[CAUT] Re: The Practical Information In Humorous Threads

[Tim Coates]

Ron,

Thanks for proving my point about the "me toos".

I have shared plenty, but the rudeness associated with Pianotech, CAUT 
and PTG has turned me and others off.  I have an associate who I 
subcontract to who will never go to another national convention because 
of the rudeness.  He really has his doubts about becoming an RPT, what 
for?    And you know I recommended he go to one of your classes which 
he did.   Isn't that funny?
