<BR><BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE style="BORDER-LEFT: #0000ff 2px solid; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px">There is an inherent conflict between the
<BR>conscious restraint of trade marketing stance of Steinway and the PTG's own
<BR>set of published ethics. As soon as Steinway begins to have quality again,
<BR>instead of just selling itself as having quality, I will have no problem
<BR>using them as a baseline. I don't mean to come across to shrilly here, but
<BR>I'm starting to have a visceral reaction to Steinway's bending of ethical
<BR>practices.

<BR>I agree with you, Paul. I am starting to tell people about what you and I
<BR>would call the unethical position of Steinway. However, even if we got all of
<BR>the PTG to agree with us, we are still fighting an uphill battle. 4000
<BR>against 300 million, and even more if you count the industrial world.
