Someone makes a sincere and polite request to take it off list and the response is to not only continue to air it but with gusto like it's some grand conspiracy. There will be plenty of opportunity to go public or add the controversy to the blogosphere should that be necessary. In the meantime I think you should express your indignation privately.<p>David Love<br/>www.davidlovepianos.com<br/>(sent from bb)</p><hr/><div><b>From: </b> David Andersen <david@davidandersenpianos.com>

Do you actually think I would risk my good name and reputation over some wacky speculation? YOU get a grip, daddio. Read the documents. Talk to the principals. This is a serious issue. This is the last transmission for me on this subject on Pianotech. I'll limit myself to ptg-l and the Institute 2012 Controversy website.<div>DA</div><div>BTW, did you read the letter---the new letter, sent tonight---that I was responding to?
