<html> <body> Hey Jeffy pie - Like, I'm sure, with a little effort, you could have said the same thing without sounding so disparaging.  It may be, is likely true that obsessive behavior with either list can affect productivity, and it may also be true that there is more to be found on Pianotech that is of no interest to you than on CAUT, BUT, there is a lot of good stuff, and people are not fighting with each other anymore, too often, so why refer to it as if it were a bunch of aliens?  It's still your family, so to speak.  Play nice.

I think that from what I have received from yourself and others I now understand a little better the purpose of CAUT vis a vis Pianotech. Thank you. And thank you to all the technicians who replied so generously to my technical questions, despite the fact that this was really the wrong forum! ;-).</blockquote> </body> </html>
