I don't mean to put Trent on the spot or single him out, but I thought I 
would use this post as a jumping off point.  Since there has been discussion
of late on appropriate posts to pianotech, an alternative forum, etc., I thought
it might be a good time to get some feedback (especially from those who rarely
or never post) about what makes people feel welcome on the list or feel that they
are 'qualified' to make a post.  There are several hundred people subscribed to this
list, but only a small percentage of them post.  I've seen a few posts lately from
people who don't often post, about not feeling credentialed, not knowing the secret
handshake, etc.  What would make those of you who don't feel credentialed, and
who perhaps know as much or more than those who frequently post, feel credentialed?
Any lurkers out there care to comment?
