<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>This thing should have been put on ice a
long time ago. If people have something to contribute or legitimate
queries then they should participate. It is an open list serve with no
membership requirements or passwords to sign on. If the list wishes to
become closed then there are ways to do that. The person in question is
clearly a “piano” person with legitimate experience and
knowledge. People don’t need to be associate members, RPTs or have
any pedigree, in my view. There’s certainly plenty of nonsense that
appears on the list from people who have all the credentials. Choosing to
join or rejoin the guild and the politics of it or upgrade from associate to RPT,
is really a separate matter. </span></font></p>
