<font color='black' size='2' face='arial'> <div>Remember when we used call each other for advice, or sent letters and waited for weeks for a response? Then we got one email list on which we posted everything: University technicals, political stuff, and such. Then we grew. We got PTG-L for the politics, and CAUT for the university tech. We got one for hearing, and newbies, and Associates. Sometimes people complained there we too many list, and some complained because posts were sent to the wrong list. Along the way there was a learning curve to learn all this new computer stuff.</div> <div> </div> <div>Then the PTG got a new web site, and server, and a new set of e-mail lists. It's going to require us to learn something new. So what? Hey, if I can learn to use the new stuff, anyone can. If you don't like it, leave. There is no law that says you HAVE to be part of the new community. If you want it bad enough, you'll learn how to use it. If you don't want to learn, you're the looser.</div> <div>  <br> In other words, quite yer bitchin<br> </div> <div>Wim Blees </div> <div>Hawaii<br> </div> <div style="FONT-FAMILY: arial,helvetica; COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">-----Original Message-----<br> From: Duaine Hechler <dahechler@att.net><br> To: pianotech <pianotech@ptg.org><br> Sent: Sun, Oct 16, 2011 6:49 pm<br> Subject: Re: [pianotech] FYI<br> <br> <div style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #fff; MARGIN: 0px; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif; COLOR: #000; FONT-SIZE: 12px" id=AOLMsgPart_0_be046fc9-23f6-465d-b405-d6fa0c67cc00><PRE style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt"><TT>On 10/16/2011 11:29 PM, William Monroe wrote: > I just thought it might be smart to point out this detail.
