I'm just expressing my honest opinion. As others have mentioned this has been going on for quite a long time, and this list has been threatened with being scrapped more than once. Most of the major contributors of the list are not happy with the "new and improved" system and some of them have disappeared. <br>
<br>The new website, in both mine and some others' opinions, does not look professional. From the start it appeared outdated, tired, and amateurish. It is simply not easy on the eyes. <br><br>I think the Board did the best they could. But I would like to see a fresh start. I don't mean to be inflammatory, I just think with an annual budget of almost $1,000,000 I think we can do better. <br>

The only hope would be to elect a new board who isn't so invested in it. I keep thinking that we've had a poorly designed/manufactured piano delivered to us and the leadership keeps trying to convince us that it just needs a little more regulating and "playing in". I would like to see the whole thing scrapped and start over with something that works and that the membership wants. <br>

terminated, after all....<br>

And as I keep attempting to point out, if we could get anyone responsible to take interest in *requiring* HL to make their "legacy" option actually work, we would have equivalent function in the new system and would have no real need of either the old pianotech list, or HL's much admired social networking site.<br>
