Oh, I see. It was two separate statements in the same sentence. No =
wonder I was confused. Isn't that a version of Double Speak when you run =
two ideas together in the same breath. White man speak with forked =
tongue.  <GRIN>
I make so many grammatical errors that I forgive you for the comma =
instead of a period. You did try to clarify it towards the end but who =
reads that far?

No offense please.

  I don't agree with Roger, we're not all equal-at least not in innate =
ability, and there are gender differences (thankfully).  David Love

  David, you make it sound as if the differences in innate ability are =
due to gender differences. Innate ability has nothing to do with gender. =
I agree with Jeanne that women are intimidated not to try as children =
because  the assumptions society forces on them makes it so difficult to =
succeed. There are just as many women as men out there that can be a =
complete technician. There are some physical differences such as upper =
body strength and average size but they have nothing to do with whether =
or not a person can figure out the adjustments on a piano action or =
voice a hammer. My mother was 17 when she entered UC Berkeley and =
graduated in three years, Phi Beta Kappa, a 3.95 grade average. She =
wanted to be an engineer but that was not allowed in 1939. My Aunt Carol =
was the first woman to be admitted to the med school she went to and =
became a physician in 1952. I have heard complaints of the difficulty to =
get an education as a piano technician, particularly for women. I assume =
this to be because it is a male dominated mentor sort of education =
system that makes assumptions about the innate ability of women and what =
they can or cannot do. Hey, get me a cup of coffee.
