I deleted the entire pianotech list for several months because of this =
kind of
attitude. The amount of discussion actually relating to pianos =
seems to
have gotten smaller since I last visited the list. (3 out of 37! =
And
since my first post, another 5, so now 42 to 3: OTs win!)<br>
<br>
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. <br>
<br>
It is unfortunate. Once, this list was a wealth of information. =
<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
Mourn the death of Pianotech. <br>
<br>
