---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Alan and others (but not all) - I get the sense that my intended points were perhaps not as evident and clarifying as I had hoped. I'll wait to see if others read it and feel similarly, however, I would like to respectfully respond to a few of your comments, and do so 'on list' because it seemed essential that the list, as a whole, address these problems.

I don't consider any of this in the same vein as some of the disputes which have taken place on Pianotech, from time to time. Surely you can't believe that any discussion of the functioning and direction of the list would be OT and irrelevant. The very question I put up for discussion was: "what is the list about?". >I wanted to send this reply to the list... to let everyone know that there >are those of us who do not take part in these petty one or two line posts >off-topic... but, that's why we're not on the *original* CAUT list anymore >(you know... the one called Pianotech). >Keep it simple... keep it private... and don't answer folks on-list who >don't listen anyway. I understand why you feel this way, given that you were a participant in the list from its inception, and it has changed, but my point was to see if there was some way to retain, or return to the values you find lacking, while acknowledging the difference in scale (number of participants, not temperment) that the present lists accommodate. If this remains a discussion between you, me, and a few others, it will be of little value. That's why I think it belongs public. >Nothing personal, David, just wanted you to know.
