Do post more often, we need piano topics not slam chit chat, tit for = tat. In 39 years of teaching in the public schools, it never ceased to amaze = me that when ever a difficult student moved, there always arose one from = the class to take their place O:(( And do sign your posts, Mother Joe Goss RPT imatunr@srvinet.com www.mothergoosetools.com ----- Original Message -----=20 From: LarryinAtlanta@aol.com=20 To: pianotech@ptg.org=20 Sent: Tuesday, May 04, 2004 7:52 AM Subject: Re: Dear Mr. Avery In a message dated 5/4/2004 3:59:47 AM Eastern Daylight Time, = Richard.Brekne@grieg.uib.no writes: Grin.. I just love these kinds of replies to Political or Religous = OT=20 threads... One starts by pointing out that such posts have nothing to do with = the=20 general topic of pianos... then without further ado engage directly = in=20 the OT thread with a counter attack... directed right at ones = person. =20 And not only that.. but one feels the need to do it in public... to=20 display for all to see ones own position on the (both) matter (s). Grin...... I just love the replies to these kind of replies. They = always ignore the fact that if someone hadn't already "attacked", and in = public, there would be no need to respond, then without further ado they = talk about the responder's remarks and call those remarks a "counter = attack directed right at one's person" instead of it occuring them that = those remarks were not meant as an "attack" nor were they aimed at one's = "person" but rather were made to show that the same rock can be tossed = both ways, so quit tossing rocks and get back to talking about the = things you're here to talk about. For instance - we've learned a lot from all this, haven't we? We've = learned that those on the right disagree with those on the left. = Wow..... I never knew that.... that information is going to help me a = whole lot next time I'm trying to find a squeak in someone's piano....I = know now that the answer is to ask the owner of the piano if they're on = the right or on the left, and if they're on the left, their piano = squeaks because it's a Republican and it wants to get away from them. = And as we learn these valuable lessons, I have noticed that major topics = of the goings on in the piano business are flying right over everyone's = heads - for instance.... is anyone aware that Samick bought part = interest in Bechstein and that Bechstein now offers C. Bechstein from = Germany and a line labeled simply Bechstein made in Korea? Has anyone = discussed the fact that Samick bought Young Chang and may be = discontinuing the YC and Pramberger brands, or may simply turn them into = stencil brands placed on Samick pianos? I don't recall reading anything = here about it, but it has a lot more to do with your career as a piano = technician than which side of the political spectrum the management of = these companies belong to. As I said before - I don't post much here, because for the most part I = get ignored when I do. I suppose I don't know the secret handshake. But = it seemed silly to me that someone would engage in a political rock = tossing and then make a grand exit because they didn't like what got = said back. That seems like such a waste when there are things they could = be learning about pianos.=20 From my point of view, I just told you more about pianos than you've = learned in this entire thread. So either way, I may have done some good = - I usually am ignored so totally that a thread simply dies the minute I = post to it. That would be a good thing in this case. On the other hand, = I've just told you two things about the piano industry that will have a = major affect on the marketplace, and as a result could have an impact on = you. Maybe that will earn me the right to learn the secret handshake. = But it seems to me it would make more sense to discuss these two issues = than to discuss politics. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
