Actually, I am more sorry than you. I mean, I feel sorrier than you
feel, or should feel. I have never been able to bring myself to
use a smiley or <grn>, or however it is that people try to
communicate being less than serious. My complaint was not proffered
seriously towards John, or with either serious irritation or
confusion. I do, on the other hand, prefer order to anarchy.
Your only mistake, maybe, was trying to be too conscientious with the
original OT designation. As a guideline, you should ask yourself,
"Is there anyway that a reasonably competent trial lawyer could make
a connection between this topic and pianos?" If yes, it's not
OT. How's that? <br><br>

David, I started it with my post where I was venting about "one of

my car, and waited for service from AAA. It lead into a discussion
of vehicles and roadside services. </font><br>

<dd>While my subject lines had "OT" in them, discussions about
service vehicles for piano tuners are ON topic since they're piano
related. It's a subject we've been covering since this list began ten
years ago and it will continue as long as vehicles are tools most of us
have to use to do our jobs.</blockquote><br>
<dd>So John - Here's MY complaint! You undermine the whole system
when you misuse or abuse the OT designation. Now I have to start
wondering whether other posts you label OT might not have some topical
information. Actually, maybe OT does mean <font size=5>O</font>n
<font size=5>T</font>opic as well. Now I'm really
confused.<br><br>
