<br>
It occurs to me that many people subscribe only in digest format and may yet (somehow) have somehow missed the EMs that you have been kindly sending to the lists. It should be easy enough to script a solution for both the digest subscribes as well as those who heavily filter their EM. Might that work?<br>
<br>
Thanks for continuing to work to keep everyone included.<br>
<br>
Kind regards.<br>
<br>

<div dir="ltr">To all pianotech and CAUT subscribers,<br /><br />The pianotech and CAUT lists will shut down in two weeks, per the PTG President's Feb 25 letter:<br /><br /><div style="margin-left:40px"><a href="http://www.ptg.org/userfiles/file/forms/MailmanServers.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.ptg.org/userfiles/file/forms/MailmanServers.pdf</a><br />

There are many options for participating in online communities with piano technicians:<br /><br />The Google Group is a direct replacement for this pianotech list, and operates in the same fashion. Lots of the same people are there. Join by sending a blank email to this address:<br />

</div><br />Or simply email me and tell me you want to be on the list, and I'll add you. For those who like the old pianotech, it is a natural substitute and I think you will be comfortable there. There is no equivalent replacement CAUT list as of yet.<br />
