<DIV>I keep forgetting this is not a closed list, which it should be. There is
no reason</DIV>
<DIV>for the public to garner trade secrets from the list especially
shade-tree-DIY</DIV>
<DIV>types screwing up their own pianos. Close the list, PTG members
only.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>So what if someone knows a 'wholesale' cost. Without a customer
number</DIV>
<DIV>orders can not be placed. It's just parts, not the instrument dealer
price list.</DIV>
<DIV>Who expects not to pay a markup anyway.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>The list's concern has been noted.</DIV>
