Try as I might, I can't stop my fingers off the reply button... Letter-of-the-law legal interpretation is (a) to be left to lawyers and judges and (b) seldom done. Letter-of-the-law says that if the speed limit sign says 30mph, and if for some reason Officer Friendly wants to stop you for driving 31mph, s/he can darn well stop you. In practice, this very rarely happens. Likewise, if letter-of-the-law says we can't provide even one date every month or so (probably the actual frequency it's been done here on pianotech is even less), or if letter-of-the-law says we can't provide a non-DC undercover to a client but we do it anyhow, then Officer Larry or Officer Roger can, by rights, come after the offender if they see it. In practice, this rarely happens. However, if someone posts a file to the list containing something s/he says was OCR scanned from PPA, well gosh, that's like driving 45mph in that 30mph zone, after dark, in snow and fog.  If you advertise your business offering grand piano undercovers for DC customers, that's the 45 in a 30 thing again... actually, since that's a patent infringement, maybe it's more like 60-in-a-30, I dunno. Point being, the "police" (Larry and Roger) tend to ignore the 31mph "speeders" because it's a small, minuscule loss and/or unknown to them such as in the case of the undercover, or the OCR scan on the PDA belonging quietly to the individual who scanned the data. I suspect that this list has actually probably helped SELL more PPA's, if anything... every single time someone asks for a DOM, at least one respondent says "Get a Pierce."  But geez, posting scanned content for the world to see, well, hmmmmmmmm...... I suspect that is probably what set Officer Larry off. Just my two-hundredths of a semitone. Paul Bruesch Stillwater, MN
