That would be a compound sentence.  A comma separating a conjunctive =
clause
gives it more separation than either just a comma or just a conjunction. =
 I
wrote it exactly as I intended it.  The rest of the paragraph makes it =
very
clear.  No offense taken (now that's an example of speaking with a =
forked
tongue).

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.
