If we can get some amusement, insight and inspiration from Albert Einstein I don’t see why one of the most popular inspirational authors of all time named Paul from the first century should be banned just because he is quoted in a book you disapprove of. It seems rather intolerant. <o:p></o:p> <div> Dean<o:p></o:p> <u1:PersonName u2:st="on">Dean May</u1:PersonName>             cell 812.239.3359 <o:p></o:p> PianoRebuilders.com   812.235.5272 <o:p></o:p> <u1:place u2:st="on"><u1:City u2:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Terre Haute</st1:City></u1:City> <u1:State u2:st="on"><st1:State w:st="on">IN</u1:State></st1:State>  <u1:PostalCode u2:st="on"><st1:PostalCode w:st="on">47802</u1:PostalCode></st1:PostalCode></st1:place></u1:place><o:p></o:p> </div> <div> <div class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'> <hr size=2 width="100%" align=center tabindex=-1> </div> From: pianotech-bounces@ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces@ptg.org] On Behalf Of paul bruesch Sent: Monday, October 29, 2007 9:17 AM To: Pianotech List Subject: Re: problem reading posts from this list<o:p></o:p> </div> <o:p> </o:p> It's not a tag line. It's a bible quote. Others choose to "enlighten" us with political candidates. Still others offer tag lines of fortune cookie wisdom. Personally, I prefer none of the above, but would gladly settle for non-controversial topics, i.e. no bible quotes, no politics. Freedom of speech allows any/all of above. Consideration for others' beliefs and politics in a piano technology forum precludes it. <o:p></o:p> <div> On 10/29/07, Jon Page <<a href="mailto:jonpage@comcast.net">jonpage@comcast.net</a>> wrote:<o:p></o:p> <div> <blockquote style='margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt' type=cite> but perhaps you would do us the courtesy of keeping your personal religious sentiments just that--personal.<o:p></o:p> </blockquote> <div> It's just a tag line.
