I like the idea of closing the fallboard, except that I've usually already removed it to inspect condition of punchings, tightness of bushings, balance holes, amount of dust, etc. <br> --David Nereson, RPT<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Being a parent myself, I have a real hard time just letting them bang
away. I usually tell them to watch their fingers! And then I close
the fallboard. Then I stand there with my hand on top of it as I talk
to the parent. It works almost every time. And the parents get the
idea real quick. Yeah, I could probably be more PC, but I just don't
have it in me. :-) It's like I'm on auto-parent mode. It just
happens...

on my mood at the moment, I would probably calmly ask the kid to please
play quietly so I can think. The kid is doing what kids do, given the
opportunity. But by asking the kid to play quietly, you're not angrily
saying to quit making all that noise, you're just asking for some
respect, which the parents apparently have not taught and do not
expect, and most kids (in my experience) respond well to that.</span>
