Thanks for your opinion, Jim. Sorry you didn't approve. There's a button on your keyboard for posts such as the one I posted -- the letter D, for Delete. Having already received that particular article several weeks ago (and getting a good belly laugh out of it -- something the doctor says is good medicine), I thought it would be appropriate to share with a group of piano technicians and other members of that ilk. The drivel that one often reads on this list -- which is more often the case than not -- has caused me to seek treatment for RSI in my left, third finger. No, not because I tend to salute the screen with that finger many times when I download 20 or 30 messages, most of them filled with *truly* mindless repetition (no slam intended, just a matter of fact that some folks still don't understand that we don't need the entire friggin' post they're quoting to be reposted), but because I have to hit that darned D key so many times. I'll bet you'd really be P.O.ed if I posted the entire proposal our colleague, Stephen Birkett, has asked me to make available to the online piano technician community ... :-) OK, fingers poised over the D key? Have a nice day. Ron Torrella, RPT P.S. The views expressed in Covert Briefs are those of the individual author's and do not necessarily reflect those of the poster, members of the Piano Technicians Guild, Inc., the University of Michigan, subscribers to PIANOTECH, Brigham Young University, citizens of the U.S.A, the Republican Party, the Democratic Party, Ross Perot and His Ilk or anyone on the Internet. Any concurrence is purely coincidental.
