I just created an online petition at the following website: <a href="http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/ptglist/">http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/ptglist/</a> Please go there and sign the petition, and add your comments. Having a master list of all those dissatisfied with the proposed elimination of the old pianotech will be politically useful. I would be happy to reword the petition if anyone feels that it is not clear or I have left something out.

As are the many preceding them. I sent Ron Berry a post this morning encouraging him to read all the posts to this thread and comment to us. Further, I asked that he forward my post to all others who were part of the committee that established the new system and ask for them to read all the postings and respond to the Pianotech Forum readers who are so eloquently expressing their concern. It is my hope that they will read all of them entirely in a receptive mode where they are actually hearing what we have to say. I hope they will not remain silent and indifferent to the destruction of our precious resource. It's time to keep stirring the broth and not let this die down. The natives are restless. It is time for accountability to us.

I don't think it's that sinister. I think the decision was implemented by people who have no use for the list, don't traffic it, and see no value in it. We just never were on the radar as a concern. Didn't count then, don't count now. Ron N </div></div></blockquote></div> -- Ryan Sowers, RPT Puget Sound Chapter Olympia, WA <a href="http://www.pianova.net">www.pianova.net</a>
