<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The PianoTechs Forum is located on the =
<U>Yahoo

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This is a private group meaning that it =
is not
available to the general public. It is restricted to piano =
techs only
unless otherwise approved. Group size can be easily =
maintained. I
propose to start the size limit at no more than 75. =
After
that you will have to wait for someone to leave before a new person =
can
join. The entire wing-ding is NON-MODERATED with the =
exception
of abusive individuals who can be removed with a simple
mouse-click. (Mind you that as an unmoderated venue you would =
probably have to be pretty bad to get the boot).</FONT></DIV>

the fun you
only need to get a FREE Yahoo account. How do I get =
