The only thing I object to is when someone tells another person(S) that = it is forbidden to use a certain word. So PSO or not, I mainly object to Mr Bremmers objections. I thereby do not dictate, I merely react as a free person, a free su= bscriber, to a sort of neutral forum, ahem. So... I agree with you on all points, but not where you describe me as a= dictator. Let us go back to where this started, just to clear things up: Someone on this list uses the word PSO. Mr B. fulminates against this person in quite a miserable way. he insult= s the user of the PSO word. And this is what gets me mad, because I thin= k that we can discuss matters, but without nasty insults. I therefore pointed out to B. Bremmer that he is a dictator by forbiddin= g the PSO word. So why call ME a dictator? I am getting tired of 'that person's  Paranoid/Schizo behaviour. Indeed, I should use my filters too. </BLOCKQUOTE> Sheesh, Martin, Just read what you have written and tell me that your thinking is that o= f a normal, healthy and contented individual.  At no time did I eve= r "forbid" anyone to use the acronym, "PSO".  What I did say was th= at for a beginner, "I would try to curtail the kind of thinking that wou= ld lead you to call your own piano a "PSO". This is what a person who= is basically insecure about his or her set of knowledge and skills says= ." A previous post from you showed that you did not even understand the mea= ning of the acronym but you were so sure that my intention was to "dicta= te" to others which kinds of words are acceptable and not that you did w= hat is called "flying off the handle".  I'll always remember a litt= le story told by one of the best teachers I ever had.  The moral to= his story was, "You can't fly off the handle when you're full of balone= y". If it pleases you, you can use the acronym "PSO" all you want.  Go = ahead and call every piano you work on a "PSO".  Complain and gripe= about the manufacturer and how they should have made a better piano for= you to work on.  Tell everyone how stupid all of the people are wh= o have these "PSO"'s in their homes and how futile an endeavor such as m= aking music on them would be.  Elevate yourself above everyone else= by making us all believe that you are God's gift to the piano industry = but there just has never really been a piano made yet that is anywhere c= lose to being worthy of your superior skills. You can start your own moderated List.  Call it "PSOtech".  Ma= ke it a charter rule that I, Bill Bremmer RPT will *never* be allowed to= subscribe.  The moderator will make sure that all posts denigrate = the piano industry by only allowing the acronym "PSO" to be used rather = than, "spinet", "console", "upright", etc.  Of course, any off topi= c posts will be welcome, especially sick jokes that make fun of women an= d minorities.  No actual questions about piano service will actuall= y appear because all of the subscribers will already know everything the= re is to know and will be so bored and jaded by technical posts that the= y don't write any or even want to read any. But talking about how bad a particular manufacturer's products *all* are= (without exception) will be welcome.  There won't be any solutions= for these problems, of course, just plenty of complaining and griping a= nd wishing we could build bonfires out of or sink all of those PSO's in = the ocean.  You'll get plenty of one line responses, cheering you o= n and agreeing with you to every insult to the profession you make. Just think of how great it would be to have such a list as "PSOtech". &n= bsp;You'd never have to read anything I write or see my screenname appea= r.  Everyone would be your friend and you could all hate the line o= f work you have chosen together in blissful freedom, out of range of the= "Dictator". But until you get that PSOtech List going, you'll just have to do as you= have so often suggested: filter, delete and do not respond to my outrag= eous attacks, insults, paranoid schizophrenic rambling and sociopathic b= ehavior.
