Hi Folks... I was just browsing through "Egroups" (http://www.egroups.com), an internet special-interest group host with chat, mailing list and files and noticed that there are two Dutch piano tuning-related groups and one Norwegian group, but nothing in English. Perhaps those who speak other languages would be interested in setting up one for themselves? For English speakers, I have set up an open EGroup called "Piano-Technicians" (piano-technicians@egroups.com) which is available now. This is not "in competition" with the Pianotech or PTG Mailing Lists or with the #pianotech IRC channel, but it can be used by members to share relevant files, as an additional mailing list open to the general public and as a real-time chat group for those who do not wish to use IRC for some reason. Mail is freely available to anyone with WWW access so it is suggested that you not post anything in there that you don't want the whole world to see easily. Mail is available in individual messages, digests or you can just read it on the web if you like. Files as well as things like the membership list are only available to members. Egroups is apparently committed to prevent spam and has some safeguards against it. I hope this will be of some use to both the members of this list and to others who haven't found this one.
