Our energy is precious in these trying times, and I want to see if any important new technical info is waiting for me to learn about while I eat, scanning the subject headings, WITHOUT having to log on to a separate site! (Which may turn out to be an utter waste of effort.) And will the new site be technical-heavy and social-light (like this one) or the other way around??? (And "Pianoworld" won't work at all for me, because much of its membership is comprised of fans of all-things-piano just seeking comoanionship --- and not serious students of restoration!)<br /><br /><br />Thumpe</div></td></tr></table> <div id="_origMsg_"> <div style="font-family:arial, helvetica,;"> <br /> <div style="font-family:times new roman, new york, times, serif;font-size:12pt;"> <font size="2" face="Tahoma"> <hr size="1"> <b> <span style="font-weight:bold;">From:</span> </b> Joseph Garrett <joegarrett@earthlink.net>; <br> <b> <span style="">To:</span> </b> Phil Bondi <phil@philbondi.com>; pianotech <pianotech@ptg.org>; <br> <b> <span style="">Subject:</span> </b> [pianotech] Still more crap! <br> <b> <span style="font-weight:bold;">Sent:</span> </b> Mon, Feb 25, 2013 8:46:51 AM <br> </font> <br> <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td valign="top" style="font:inherit;">Phil,<br>You said: <br>".From: Phil Bondi<br>Posted: Sunday February 24, 2013 8:53 PM<br>Subject: RE:Pianotech Mail-List Server closing April 1st<br>Message: <br>Paul,<br>The reason for the multiple methods is this:<br> <br>There's been enough flack given to the Board about my.ptg.org from<br><a rel="nofollow">pianotech@ptg.org</a> that they felt giving that list of participants an option<br>was necessary. The Electronic Communications Committee was asked to come up<br>with an alternative to <a rel="nofollow">pianotech@ptg.org</a>. They gave us Google+, which in my<br>opinion has possibilities. It's not email, and that alone has its drawbacks<br>for some, but it is an alternative. The Board also recognizes that there are<br>a few more options out there for piano techs to have discussion and ask<br>questions. Pianoworld comes to mind as an active place for techs. Personally<br>I am not involved there, but am aware of it. The PTG Facebook page has had<br>its share of discussion there also.<br> <br>The Board would like nothing more than to have all the finest techs in the<br>world discussing here on this platform. Being realistic that's not going to<br>happen. <br> <br>Paul, I hope that answers your question."<br>-------------------------------------------<br>-phil,<br>Are you speaking on behalf of the entire Board? Or, just yourself/ Or, just<br>for the Executive Committee, that has been extremely silent? The above is<br>crap and you know it. So much placating garbage imo. I expect more from you<br>Phil. You, of all people should be able to know what is right for PTG. The<br>HL format is not cutting it. Face it. Admit it. And, move on to something<br>for EVERYONE! Let's gather the flock into one field, not scatter them<br>helter skelter! In my opinion, the Delcour thing could work. No one has<br>given it a try, as far as I know. I haven't, because it got lost in the<br>B.S. of HL ala Executive Board Rhetoric! Grrrr! I am sending this one to<br>the real list. I hope that won't piss off too many people.<G><br>Joe<br><br><br>Joe Garrett, R.P.T.<br>Captain of the Tool Police<br>Squares R I<br><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://gpianoworks.com/">http://gpianoworks.com/</a><br><br></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> </div> </div> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> </div> </div>
