This has gone WAY beyond anything ever intended. Obviously my wording was not appropriate for some of you on this form and in an attempt to defuse and close the matter I formally submit my regrets and appology for the entire thread. No personal damage was ever intended. Clearly there are individuals present who do not find such anicdotes amusing. I thought there might be some who would appreciate the story. I carelessly did not consider that there may be some who would not. I see now that the experience should have been kept silent. Clearly I made some mistakes mentioning certain specifics that should not have been made public. In the future I will attempt to refrain from such posts. My personal appologies to Sarah for digging up any of this, and although never present or personsonally aware, the client in question. I found this experience somewhat amusing not because of the specific individual but because it ranks with a handful of other unussual clients who have raised an eyebrow. This was a new one for me. I have had a few experiences that were ligitimately bad, (i.e. verbally abusive, unrealistic expectections, too cheap to pay their bills, etc.). This story does not fall into that catagory, as fortunatly nothing tangible occured. It is for all practical purpose a story to recall during private discussion in my retirement. Having said that I will attempt to refrain from such sensitive and potentially damaging subject matter in the future. I consider the matter closed as I hope you will also and trust that the list will now be able to return it's focus to topics relating to pianos. Humbly yours, Rob Goodale, RPT Las Vegas, NV
