<!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en"> <html> Roy, You are correct, and your concern is valid.  But the problem is that over the years some of us have also become friends.  Had we remained only piano technicians, staying on the subject would be much easier. I also get tired of the OT posts, but I join them sometimes and even started the snowstorm one!  :-(  I doubt we'll get rid of all the OT posts until we can negate all friendships, and I don't see that happening anytime soon, although there have been some spats that caused some to leave.  But that's a loss, IMO.
