<HTML><FONT SIZE=2><B>Jim:
<BR>What an eloquent and thoughful presentation! I would hope that our Pianotech <BR>list would get back to what we once did so well and that is discuss piano <BR>problems. Of my last 65 entries from pianotech, over 25 were labeled <BR>"politics". I, for one, am sick and tired of all the space given to this. I <BR>am, of course, using my "delete" button with easy abandon for all but the <BR>pianotech entries. It would seem that some of our overseas participants have <BR>nothing else to do but comment on our political situation (or so it would <BR>seem since I have not read any of their contributions-that great delete <BR>button). Too bad there are not more pianos out there for them to tune.
<BR>
<BR>Our Republic will live on.
