Unless PTG directly has some large part in collecting the information, it hardly seems right for the PTG to outright own it. There's plenty of technical piano information in the public domain that Joe Farmer or Johnny Army Cook can access to screw up their pianos. How does not having the information protect anything? It just makes it worse. <DIV> <DIV><BR><BR> <DIV class=gmail_quote>On Wed, Sep 24, 2008 at 5:36 AM, J Patrick Draine <SPAN dir=ltr><<A href="mailto:jpdraine@gmail.com">jpdraine@gmail.com</A>></SPAN> wrote:<BR> <BLOCKQUOTE class=gmail_quote style="PADDING-LEFT: 1ex; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; BORDER-LEFT: #ccc 1px solid"> <DIV dir=ltr>Submit it to Ron Berry, PTG's webmaster, for posting within the "members only" "Resources" area.  <DIV><BR></DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#888888>Patrick Draine</FONT> <DIV class=Ih2E3d><BR><BR> <DIV class=gmail_quote>On Wed, Sep 24, 2008 at 3:59 AM, Bruce Browning - The Piano Tuner <SPAN dir=ltr><<A href="mailto:justpianos@our.net.au" target=_blank>justpianos@our.net.au</A>></SPAN> wrote:<BR> <BLOCKQUOTE class=gmail_quote style="PADDING-LEFT: 1ex; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; BORDER-LEFT: #ccc 1px solid"><BR>So I agree to keeping this info.
