thought I was the only one" thing, it mystifies <br>
me. That's backward. This is exactly the sort of stuff this list ought <br>
to be full of instead of questions so basic anyone charging for their <br>
time ought to be able to figure out for themselves. Each of us has <br>
dozens of little tricks, methods, or fundamental approaches to things <br>
that others could find quite valuable if they knew about it. But then <br>
that's sometimes what the kindergarten basic questions are good for. I <br>
learn something from someone's casual remark that has nothing to do with <br>
the question, and that's the real value. I'll mention something <br>
occasionally that I figured everyone knew, and am surprised when it's <br>
news to them. If it had occurred to me that it might not be common <br>
knowledge, I'd have mentioned it years ago. If we only had a way to tell <br>
which is which."</span></font><font size=2 face=Tahoma><span

</span></font><font face=Arial><span style='font-family:Arial'>I think everyone
on this list are working at different experience levels. So what you call the
"basic" things anyone should figure out, then to some it might be
basic while to others it may not be basic. I think everyone should
address what's on their mind without the worry if their comment or question
would be seen as too basic. Sometimes folks might need a refresher or a
new approach. What defines basic common knowledge? </span></font><font

</span></font><font face=Arial><span style='font-family:Arial'>William you
mention how to access the hammber butt flange screws in a spinet. I find that
the regulating screwdrivers with the combination handle to be a little
too short to reac hall the way in there. You mention "lifting the
action"? The action was in the piano where I wanted to access the
screws. </span></font><font size=2 face=Tahoma><span style='font-size:
