You certainly will get a lot of differeing replys to this kind of
posting. I encourage you regardless to persue your RPT status. I would
also simply say in the face of all the notes that totally and out of hand
simply ridicule your views... that anyone who can not pass the RPT test
has no buisness accepting money to work on someones piano. Period. The
test is simply too easy as it is.
<p>I would also like to point out that if there has been too much "associate
bashing" in the past... the present is beginning to wear thin on "RPT ridiculing".
The goal to attain RPT status is a fine one and honorable one.
<p>Finnally, in contrast to some of my colleagues on this list, I find
nothing about your posting that is "garbaged" or "prejudiced". You shared
your view points in a matter of factly way, and deserved to be treated
with respect in replies. We dont have to all aggree, but we can disaggree
with out being rude.
<p>btw..how does one insure one knows the "tone" of an email.....shheeeshh.
