[CAUT] [pianotech] Dampp chasers

[Paul T Williams]

Chris,

Do they get paid?  Our director would in no way approve.  We're cutting 
millions of $$ from the university budget this coming fiscal year with no 
hope of not having to do more next year.  I'm afraid I'm on my own.

Not to overly indulge in the rapture of cynicism to excess or anything, 
but
we are talking about a generation that can barely read, write or 
communicate
at all, trusts their most intimate thoughts and experiences to an open
computer program and for the most part are too fat to crawl under the 
piano
to replace wicks. And this coming to you from a barely literate, 
overweight
RPT.
