[pianotech] the big discussion

[Mr. Mac's]

David,

I'm not certain who's comments you are addressing,
   so I shall allow for the moment they are mine.

Though I have a feeling you already know this,
   I am fairly certain Ryan does not. No disrespect intended, Ryan.

 I create a recipe for every piano that I encounter.
 It is logged and recorded on the first visit,
   and is subject to modifications from all visits then on.
