[CAUT] "Accurate subject line" idea..

[ed440 at mindspring.com]

Michelle-

Remember that the Pianotech list was originally created by and for college technicians.  It got popular, people had fun, cracked jokes and so on, so PTG decided to let it go public, and created CAUT for college techs.

The idea was to keep it simple and on topic, focused and fast for folks in a hurry.  It's probably best to keep it that way.
