[pianotech] "...worthless"???

[David Skolnik]

Joe -
Sorry to take issue.  I'm beginning to feel like that guy who said
>And I'm getting very tired of repeating that ...

except I'm not really that tired, yet.   But I will make two points:
1) You are saying that, not just Duaine, but any list 
subscriber/contributor, no matter how long they may have been a part 
of the list community (even pre-dating PTG's hosting) would not have 
the right to express a point of view as to how the list is being 
handled?  Is there some written policy statement that formalizes 
PTG's 'ownership' of the pianotech list, at the time that hosting 
began?  I keep on saying, but it seems to be ignored:  It's just a 
coincidence that the administrators of pianotech at ptg.org are Guild 
officials.  It's NOT a PTG thang, per se.

2) You said:
>if you want the "powers that
>be" to take you seriously, (or even acknowledge you), you might consider
>becoming a member.

Well, sir.  I can't say as I see that a makin much difference, so far.

Any day...
