Let me proclaim to all of you: THE PIANOTECH FORUM IS DEAD.  You = obviously all haven't realized it, yet, but look at what's in your mailbox right now.  Pianotech does not exist any longer.  It has morphed = into an email list of personal opinion which has little or nothing to do with pianos.   It is unfortunate.  Once, this list was a wealth of information. = Next time you feel as if everyone needs to know what you think about = Bush, Iraq, or God, ask yourself, WWDD?  (What would Del do?)  As I = look over the OTs, I don't see any from Del Fandrich.  And I'm realizing = right now: I don't know what Del thinks about Iraq!  And then I realize: = with as much respect as I have for him, his voluminous knowledge of piano = construction, and his contributions to this list in the past, I don't really care what = he thinks about Iraq.  And then I realize that I also respect him for = knowing that I don't really care about what he thinks about Iraq and therefore = he keeps it to himself.  Thank you, Del. Mourn the death of Pianotech.  PianoTunaGuy<o:p></o:p> </div> </body> </html>
