Well Webwraith I have this to say.
<p>I dont converse with ghosts. If the lady / fellow wants honest opinion
and help let said person ask for it for themselves. They need not
be afraid. Everyone on this list has at some point made horrific messes
of some or another jobs on our paths.
<p>We are by and large an open and trusting community here on the PTG list
and thats how things should remain, because if we dont then we are
lost.

<br><font face="Comic Sans MS"><font size=-1>2) Should the

<br><font face="Comic Sans MS"><font size=-1>3) Should a single

<br><font face="Comic Sans MS"><font size=-1>4) Should the

<br><font face="Comic Sans MS"><font size=-1>5) Should stringing

<br><font face="Comic Sans MS"><font size=-1>7) Should new

<br><font face="Comic Sans MS"><font size=-1>8) If you were
rebuilding an S&S "B" and a pedal was wobbly, would you pop out the

<br><font face="Comic Sans MS"><font size=-1>9) If you were
a PTG examiner, would you use your rank to try and intimidate someone who

<br><font face="Comic Sans MS"><font size=-1>10) Rebuilders:
Does a technician have to chose to do bellywork in order for you to consider
his/her opinion?</font></font>
<p><font face="Comic Sans MS"><font size=-1>Actually, only rebuilders need
respond, as he/she made clear that those were the only people he/she would
