why I don't post

 Dale:

With love and all due respect, I do think it's silly (in the goose-like sense, bro!). We can only put our love out into the world in so many ways. To feel constrained from posting your thoughts, and particularly to feel that you have to constrain your "unbridled enthusiasm" (I picture wild horses), is simply ego and pride (you asked!). The problem arises from expectation. When we expect something from the universe, we front load the actual results with what we want; what we want then colors the reality of what we get. It's harder to see, and sometimes harder to take. So maybe stop expecting and just put your love out there. If someone has a problem with it, they have to live with themselves, not you. Don't rent space in your brain to them!

With the deepest regards,

Paul

? Good post Paul


? Actually I refrain from posting often because of something probably 
silly.? But,In the past when I have posted things I thought might be of 
interest, the silence was deafening so I don't know how to interpret that. 
Generally I classify it as disinterest due to the shop nature of the topic or 
that somehow due to cyber -dom My unbridled enthusiastic show and tell style is 
misconstrued as .......well...something else unintended.


? ? Dunno But since we're clearin the air.

Hi:
? ? Contrary to what you might think, there are many 
  of us (most) who will be
more than happy to answer any piano-related 
  question you may have.? 
? ? There are different repair 
  procedures which have evolved over time for a
particular malady.? It's 
  amazing to discover that, even for simple repairs,
many different 
  techniques exist.? That's the advantage of this list. Even
for 
  replacing elbows in a spinet, many different tricks have been 
  posted
here.? We have input from some of the finest technicians on 
  this list, some
of whom are piano designers, engineers, and rebuilders with 
  decades of
experience to draw from.? 
? ? It is natural 
  for those technicians who are successful at the trade to
evolve vastly 
  different views regarding their particular methods of repair.
A particular 
  technician may have doing a repair for many years, and find
that it works 
  for him/her.? He may have developed a theory of why this
method works, 
  and be convinced that this method is better than all others
because he has 
  "understood" the underlying cause of the problem.? Another
technician 
  may have evolved a different understanding, and be 
  convinced
otherwise.? Even though they may disagree with each other 
  regarding a
particular method or theory, we can all learn something from 
  the debate.? 
? ? What is unfortunate is that too often the 
  debate becomes personal, and an
argument ensues.? The egos get 
  involved and it starts to get ugly.? What to
do?? Somehow, the 
  computer seems to depersonalize the other party.? I doubt
that such 
  heated arguments would take place if we all sat around a big
table face to 
  face.? 
? ? If you have anything you'd like to inquire 
  about, don't be shy.? Ask!? You
just might find there's a LOT 
  that can be gained by tapping into this great
resource.? 
? 
  ? By the way, what's your name?
