According to who, you?<br>
<br>
I submit this. Those in opposition to this new format have their own agenda,<br>

Seriously?</div><div><br></div><div>Opposing a discussion format means a person has an agenda in opposition to the best interests of the PTG? Surely you could clarify that for those of us who have shared legitimate reasons for being opposed to the new format. I like PTG, and I like the direction we've been heading. That does not mean that I must also like the new format.</div>
<div><br></div><div>For instance, the new color scheme does nothing for me. I don't like it. But, hey, it's a matter of preference, so I've not said anything about it. That's a non-issue for me.</div><div>
<br></div><div>The new discussion format isn't up to snuff. It's glorified webmail, and I was getting better results through Gmail. Now I will reserve the right to change my mind, but nobody yet has posted anything that has changed it yet. Tutorials available anywhere? I haven't seen 'em yet. Be glad to look at one if you can point me to it.</div>
<div><br></div><div>To see the new messages in the new format, I have to go to <a href="http://my.ptg.org">my.ptg.org</a>, click on 'Discussions', then click on Pianotech, and then figure out which message is new ... because the new ones are not bolded. The old way, with email sent to Gmail, all new discussions were bolded (and for the most part, kept in the same thread). Ditto for Pianoworld. I don't think it's too much to ask with the new format, nor do I think opposers should be labeled as anti-thetical to the progress of PTG.</div>
