I agree on all counts, and pointed out two years ago that if they would just get the attachments working with email in HL, that the pianotech list would be unnecessary and superfluous. And just in case of collective short attention spans, I repeated it a lot. Nothing, except "We got Member Max, we got Member Max". > If I am correct, then <a href="http://my.ptg.org/" target="_blank">my.ptg.org</a> <<a href="http://my.ptg.org/" target="_blank">http://my.ptg.org</a>> may still achieve > these goals, because it puts some social media under the PTG brand, > beyond just a normal web site.

It's inconceivable to me that incompetence and a total inability to minimally address the questions asked during this travesty is possible at this level throughout the administration of any organization, but I've seen it happen plenty at all levels in CYA by denial policy. We don't have a clue what the intent is, because we haven't gotten sane answers from anyone about any of this until you came along with some system related information, but you can't speak to motive so we still don't know much except that the executive branch seems to be either brain dead or Keyser Söze.
