At its peak it had some 700 subscribers and a lot of traffic.  It costs virtually nothing at all. It's chaaritable and is hosted for free, and aven at its busiest, required very little administration.  Admittedly it is more basic - you can't post photos to it. But still, $30k seems absurd.  There must be a mistake, surely.<br> <br> Best regards,<br> <br> David.</font><br> <br> <br> <div class="moz-cite-prefix">On 25/02/2013 21:26, <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:pianotech-request@ptg.org">pianotech-request@ptg.org</a> wrote:<br> </div> <blockquote cite="mid:mailman.5549.1361827608.4133.pianotech@ptg.org" type="cite"> <div>Jim wanted numbers. If I recall, Pianotech is costing us about $30k per year. It was also administered for free by a couple of members. If we pay the HO to do that work, the cost of maintaining the list will be in the $50K range. With 100 subscribers, that would come to $500 per year. Any takers?</div> <div><br> </div> <div>Wim</div> <div><br> </div> </blockquote> <br> </body> </html>
