[pianotech] Say goodbyebye Folks

[Susan Kline]

I think that the absence of sub-forums (sub-fora) is one of pianotech's 
main advantages over myptg.org.

They took a room which was only marginally populated begin with, and 
carved it all up into
little cubicles, where people could hang around in nearly solitary 
confinement. And having all
those tiny empty cells has led people to cross-post almost everything to 
two or
three places. But some of the replies don't get cross-posted. It's a mess.

Better to dump everything into one large room, and use the subject line 
to let people
ignore what they aren't interested in. For one thing, sometimes people 
want to read what
particular individuals have to say, whether or not they are following a 
particular thread.

Given the average age of piano techs, we can be expected to gradually 
thin out -- indeed,
it is already starting to happen. We should stay together in larger 
groups as much as we
conveniently can.
