Ric doesn’t po= st just so he can impart some of his incredible piano knowledge- somethin= g he loves to do and is happy to do. He posts because he loves people, he= loves the exchange. That is obvious enough. You take the banter away fro= m him and I dare say he’ll go away and great will be the loss.<O:P></O:= P>  <O:P></O:P> It only takes a second to recognize a post as banter= and hit the delete key. That’s a minute and a half to zip through 90 m= essages if they are ALL banter. Small price to pay for keeping Ric, I’d= say.<O:P></O:P>  <O:P></O:P> Dean</FO= NT><O:= P></O:P> Dean May             cell 812.= 239.3359<O:P></O:P> PianoRebuilders.com   812.235.5272= <O:P></O:P> Terre Haute IN  47802<= SPAN style="COLOR: navy; mso-color-alt: windowtext"><O:P></O:P><= /FONT>  <O:P></O:P> -----Original Message----- From: pianotech-bounces@ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-b= ounces@ptg.org]On Behalf Of <= /B>Robin Stevens Sent:= Thursday, December 16, 2004 8:03 PM To: Pianotech Subj= ect: Re: bandwidth OVERLOAD!  <O:P></O:P></SP= AN> <TABLE style="WIDTH: 100%; rem_margin-left: 43.5pt; mso-cellspacing: 0i= n; mso-padding-alt: 1.5pt 1.5pt 1.5pt 1.5pt" cellSpacing=0 cellPadding== 0 width="100%" border=0> <TBODY> <TR> <TD style="PADDING-RIGHT: 1.5pt; PADDING-LEFT: 1.5pt; PADDING-BOTTOM: 1= .5pt; WIDTH: 100%; PADDING-TOP: 1.5pt" width="100%">  </FO= NT><O:P></O:P>  I totally a= gree Patrick, Today over 90 posts arrived, most of them just wasteful ban= ter.<O:P></O:P><= /FONT>  </FO= NT><O:P></O:P> Richard Breckne's= total "so far" today has been 19 posts!!!!<O:P></O:P>  </FO= NT><O:P></O:P> Many others are s= ending multiple posts of pure trivia and dribble, making it hard to = sort the worth reading, from the posts that should only be sent to i= ndividuals.<O:P></O:P><= /SPAN>  </FO= NT><O:P></O:P> Have a merry Xmas= and a great 2005.<O:P>= </O:P>  </FO= NT><O:P></O:P> Regards</F= ONT><O:P></O:P> Robin Stevens</SP= AN><O:P></O:P></= P> South Australia&n= bsp;<O:P></O:P><= /FONT>  </FO= NT><O:P></O:P>  = <O:P></O:P> <DIV id=IncrediOriginalMessage>  </DIV><= /SPAN><O:P></O:P></FONT= >  </FO= NT><O:P></O:P>  </FO= NT><O:P></O:P>  </FO= NT><O:P></O:P>  </FO= NT><O:P></O:P></TD>= </TR> <TR> <TD id=mod_EDIFOOTER style="PADDING-RIGHT: 1.5pt; PADDING-LEFT: 1.5pt= ; PADDING-BOTTOM: 1.5pt; WIDTH: 100%; PADDING-TOP: 1.5pt" width="100%"> <TABLE style="WIDTH: 100%; mso-cellspacing: 0in; mso-padding-alt: 0in 0= in 0in 0in" cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="100%" border=0> <TBODY> <TR> <TD style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0in; PADDING-LEFT: 0in; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0in; = WIDTH: 100%; PADDING-TOP: 0in" width="100%">  <O:P></O:P></TD> <TD id=mod_EDISOUND style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0in; PADDING-LEFT: 0in; PAD= DING-BOTTOM: 0in; PADDING-TOP: 0in" vAlign=bottom>  <F= ONT face="Times New Roman" color=black size=3><O:P></O:P></F= ONT></TD> <TD id=mod_EDIANIM style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0in; PADDING-LEFT: 0in; PADD= ING-BOTTOM: 0in; PADDING-TOP: 0in" vAlign=bottom>  <F= ONT face="Times New Roman" color=black size=3><O:P></O:P></F= ONT></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE> <O:P></O:P></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>  <O:P></O:P></DIV> <DIV> </DIV></TD></TR> <TR> <TD id=INCREDIFOOTER width="100%"> <TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="100%"> <TBODY> <TR> <TD width="100%"></TD> <TD id=INCREDISOUND vAlign=bottom align=middle></TD> <TD id=INCREDIANIM vAlign=bottom align=middle></TD></TR></TBODY></T= ABLE></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></BODY></HTML>
