The <br>> knowledgeable banter allowed me to formulate my approaches to rebuilding <br>> and tech-hood in a way that no other venue did or could have. The <br>> mindless loss of this list, with the list being an entity of PTG, puts <br>> my continued membership in the PTG in serious question for me.<br>> <br>> I have no interest in using the myptg.org website. This after using it <br>> and trying to be a reasonable web savvy "team player" for a year. <br>> Resources outside the PTG seem to be performing the web based chat <br>> function far better than the PTG. Add to that that the PTG is actively <br>> shunting my participation away from the organization...uhh, I still find <br>> this hard to believe...I supppose I will, should this site be killed, <br>> take the hint and walk with it.<br>> <br>> Its too bad too, as the organization is in theory a valuable resource. <br>> Rather I should say some of the people in the organization are valuable <br>> resources and friends. They will continue to be valuable freinds, but I <br>> will leave the organization to self-cannibalizing itself... I really <br>> don't quite get it...<br>> <br>> The bottom line is that my continued membership is questionable at this <br>> time.<br>> <br>> Those of you who are lurkers, please register your protest by responding <br>> in a way that is comfortable for you.<br>> <br>> Jim Ialeggio<br>> <br>> -- <br>> Jim Ialeggio <br>> jim@grandpianosolutions.com<br>> 978 425-9026<br>> Shirley Center, MA<br>> <br></div> </div></body>
