You see, there are no secrets. David Love www.davidlovepianos.com From: pianotech-bounces at ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces at ptg.org] On Behalf Of David Andersen Sent: Saturday, December 27, 2008 11:08 AM To: pianotech at ptg.org Subject: Re: [pianotech] Question of Protocol; was: but will it split I couldn't have said it better myself. In fact, D-Love stole that from me; he placed, by remote control when I was sleeping, an incredibly complex nanobot in my brain in order to steal my brilliant and original ideas and great store of brilliant jewels of brilliant enlightenment. These northern Californians are all the same: evil genius nerds who will stop at nothing to appear wise and masterful. Curse, you, D-Love. Curse you......(soft sobbing....) xoxxoxoDA On Dec 27, 2008, at 10:00 AM, David Love wrote: Well, that's just not my experience at all on this list, at conventions or in an information gathering phone call. The generosity with which people share what might be considered proprietary information belies that idea. People who spend a lot of time developing ideas, techniques and procedures and put themselves at risk for criticism in sharing those ideas better be a bit tough minded because there is often such resistance to anything new or which falls outside the norm. However, that people have strong opinions or defend their ideas with strong language, incredulousness, sarcasm, facetiousness or wit should not be confused with being egotistical or thinking that others are as you describe so indelicately. There are lots of ways to skin a cat (disgusting expression really) but sometimes there are better ways. Hopefully, we're all looking for a better way and have the willingness and toughness to put ourselves on the line and defend those ideas. Without that, even with a few rough spots in communication protocols, the trade stagnates. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
