They don't argue that fact, they ignore it. It takes a special talent to
ignore the blindingly obvious and always blame the messenger.

Larry, those are lots of just one clicks. And how about the time it takes to
load your browser, then load the PTG website, then several more one clicks
to get the list and a few more one clicks start or reply to a message.
I can post or reply to the old list in one click after a couple of second to
open my mail client. How long does it take you to do all that you described,
from the time your computer is up and running? Give me a break, let's argue
real facts with real facts. Not a bunch of hypothetical one clicks. Clicks
are fast. The problem is how many does it take and how long do you need to
wait after each click. Let's get real here.
The old list is faster, more efficient and easier to use. How could you
possible argue that fact!

The PTG may have made a few improvements to the web site, but the new list
is not a viable means of communication for us. We have neither the time nor
inclination to go through all we need to do, just to post a problem, photo
or response.
I've certainly not had any of these problems. I don't understand the issues
here. I recently posted an archival quality post regarding access to the
action cavity on grand pianos that have the PianoDisc record feature
installed. It took me under a half an hour and includes four images. I
haven't posted it to this list because I don't remember how to include
images. I could get started and figure it all out once again, but I feel
once is enough. As much as I'd enjoy making the common process of accessing
a grand action something you can do with prior knowledge, I don't feel I
need to provide the information twice when the first time is totally
accessible to any member of the guild.
As for having to sign in, .......... one click and I'm in looking at the
page with all the posts of the last day or two. My computer signs in
automatically for me. I see the listing in my email's index and when I
open the email, I'm in the web based PTG technical discussion ready to use
all the wonderful features of the system.
One click and I'm ready to start typing a response to a particular thread
("discussion"). One click and I can see what I or anyone else has posted
over time. I recently changed my past posting to make the information
correct as can be. I find the new system to be SO easy to use ............
To respond to this discussion I had to cut and past the subject into the
subject line, and I had to cut and past the above included quote.
If you like archiving your own library of posts, that's your thing and I'm
happy for you. I like having someone else's storage media handle all that
for me automatically ....... for the cost of my membership fee.
As for having a website that is under priced, or not performing what it
could if it were done by someone else, ....... someone went through a lot of
effort to set up the web based medium for us. If you think you can do a
better job that EVERYONE WILL ACCEPT, submit your efforts to the suits and
ties and let's start enjoying this magnificent process of sharing knowledge
freely with total harmony and fanfare.
It sounds like there's going to be a class on this at the upcoming
conferences. I expect the teacher will have to be clad in a full body
protective suit for keep from getting injured by rotten fruit projectiles
......... well OK, small rocks ..............
