a customer.  He sells pianos, some very fine ones (I'm in Manitoba , he's on the west coast, and I tune for one of his customers!) and he is asking what is fair to offer a tech for a defined body of work.</span></font></p> </div> <div> <p class="yiv181634525MsoNormal"><font size="4" color="black" face="Calibri"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:Calibri;color:black;"> </span></font></p>

as a customer, I really doubt that he is crossing the line of the anti-trust issue.  And we don't have to either, as long as we graciously decline to answer him in this forum.</span></font></p> </div>
