I was going to send this off list to those involved, but it raises and =
issue that I think is worth at least a comment.  This type of dialogue =
doesn't really belong here, serves no purpose, is a waste of time and is =
counterproductive.  The list is a valuable resource for the exchange of =
information and I am inclined to push for a list manager who will =
restrict access to those who can't function effectively as there own =
editors.  I am sure that there are other forums more appropriate for the =
venting of anger and frustration, casting aspersions, verbal taunting, =
and sucking on the sourest of grapes.  For those who have such needs, I =
wish you would use them.

    Hmmmm, better be careful calling it the "National", hmmmmmm.=20

    Well, I don't know why a good majority of the rest of the Guild=20
    calls it the "National", but I, at least, call it the National=20
    to differentiate it from the various Regionals. It's no use=20
    calling the National the Annual, since all the Regionals are=20
    Annuals as well. As for the implied but missing "Convention",=20
    what other National occurrence are members of the PTG likely=20
    to be talking about, when asking each other if they are going=20
    to attend something next year?=20

    Also, of course, we could agree to call it the National because=20
    of the large numbers of people from various Nations attending it ... =




  I propose then, to bow deeply to Susan's and apparently the majority =
of=20
  Member's habits and logic, that the Bylaws be changed to call the =
Annual=20
  Convention,  "The National".  Every reference thereafter, either in =
speech or=20
  in writing to that convention must be changed to the words, "The =
National".=20

  I can see it now:  Wally Brooks RPT, Director of the 2005 PTG National =
in=20
  Atlantic City, NJ.  No room for any classes on "how to tune a piano =
out of=20
  tune" but 10 classes on player pianos.=20
