I concur.  And, Mr. Baxter, there are in excess of 300 subscribers to this
list.  Good luck getting permissions!  You may want to hire several more
staff members to scrounge through the Pianotech archives and then send
email messages to the authors asking for permission.  I don't think you
need to be reminded of the ramifications of publishing without securing
not just permission, but *proof* of permission.

In the alternative, you could see about offering free memberships to
interested members of the PTG (RPTs and Associates alike??), setting up a
piano tech area and skipping the permission business.....I believe
anything "published" on an ISP's computers becomes the property of the
ISP, does it not?
