That's all well and good, thank you, but the daily interaction between live people is much more enjoyable. Pardon my ignorance, but I've yet to discover the method by which to "filter" messages, as if I'd want to. I think you read too much into my question - I didn't even hint at being "unbearably burdened". > If that's too much bother: tough. Pianotech is free. > No one owes anyone the email list of their dreams. For what it's worth, I too enjoy a certain amount of banter and humor. You totally missed the point, which was simply a suggestion that personal communication between 2 people that has no interest to the group as a whole is better done via E-mail. > Best to all here, chatterers and non-chatterers alike. > Susan > > P.S.

To be taken to the proverbial woodshed and labeled a "complainer" seems a rather harsh response to what I deemed a polite question to the group. Maybe one of us needs another "wee dram" to lighten up a bit. Regards, Roy Ulrich >> Pardon me SO much, but this isn't even the pot calling the kettle black. Roy, lighten up a bit, get a life, find some humor in your soul--and if you can't or won't do that, then take Susan's excellent suggestions. End of rant. Stan Ryberg Barrington IL
