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>

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>
