There was a time when CAUTS (those that were on-line anyway) were the only ones who read Pianotech since it was the original CAUT list. It began as a shared set of e-mail addresses to which we all posted everything in the days before listservers. Danny L. Boone at Baylor was the one who got me involved. The only reason most we left one by one was that the volume of postings (and, indeed, the volume of what amounted to chatter) increased to the point that the time investment was too costly in terms of our workload and available time. If not for that, Pianotech would still be the CAUT list and we'd all still be there. I envy those who have the time to read Pianotech, almost as much as I envy those who have time to read both lists. Personally, though, the costs outweigh the benefits... politics notwithstanding. -- Regards, Alan B. Crane, RPT School of Music Wichita State University alan.crane at wichita.edu
