[CAUT] CAUT appropriate; was: How do you spell fraud?

[David Skolnik]

Jeff -
You're right about the overwhelming nature of the lists, in general, 
but that could easily be addressed to the CAUT experience as 
well.  It is hard, at times, to define one appropriate venue for many 
of the things we discuss and because there ARE some people who are on 
only one or the other, it sometimes feels most expeditious to post to 
both.  As you have apparently not been on Pianotech for 'a long 
time', I would exercise some discretion in perpetuating what is 
likely a dated impression.  The sad part is, there is much of value 
there that I, at least, don't have time to exploit.
