What you say is true Richard. I am a licensed Professional Geologist in =
Florida and whereas such licensing does not eliminate all the yo-yos =
from the profession, it does keep the total rip-off impersonators from =
practicing the profession. I think, however one needs to consider the =
potential adverse affects that incompetence would cause in a given =
profession. In the medical profession, it is obvious that an impostor =
could cause much grief and irreparable harm. In the piano industry? The =
only thing an incompetent technician can do is damage a piano and/or =
wiggle a few dollars out of someone's wallet. Not that that's good, but =
it can be fixed. One has to judge whether it is worth the hassle & =
expense to license and monitor a whole profession that has minimal =
impact on the good of society.

Now, should we talk about whether there should be a licensing =
requirement for the office of the President of the USA (talk about =
potential irreparable harm) - you know, some basic requirement like =
knowing how to pronounce foreign leaders names, and maybe just say a few =
big words - so he/she at least appears presidential? No, no, oops! I =
guess that is not piano related - so I won't even bring it up!  ;-)

  Hmm... I think I know where you are going with this... and if so then =
I can only state again that a requirement by law to assure a person has =
the minimum education and knowledge neccessary to do the work is not a =
bad thing, nor is it governmental ivasion of privacy or any of those =
nasty horrible things...=20

  for the life of me I fail to understand this ....paranoia... thats the =
only word I can think of for it..=20

  Kindly disregard this note if I have misread your meaning.... grin.
