I understand David. I'd be lying if I said I've never done likewise. We do what we have to do when we have to do it.

Once in awhile you give something back. At the end of it all I'm not going to be reminiscing about that time I was man enough to charge Mrs. O'leary $75.00 to rescue her pencil. But I might be thinking about the times I did something nice for someone. Whichever way you decide to handle it, it's not really all that important in the whole scheme of things.

I'm trying to stress that as my point. It seems that many piano technicians are of the mindset that they are exempt from that privilege. _____ avast!
