Jeff - I don't mean to single you out in this recent climate of Pianotech bashing, as Rob,G, for one, has made some similar statements, nor do I want to get into issues of list protocols or appropriateness, per se, but, free speech aside, I do take issue with a your perpetuation of a dated and distorted impression of that list. First of all, the issues of the cost of Broadband and its accessibility, or the frustration with the speed of dial-up, while valid concerns, should have nothing to do with assessing the quality of the content of these lists. If you did have high speed connection, you'd still have to come up with an effective approach to dealing with the increasing information overload, of which these lists are just a part. That it took you half a day to do this might speak to some other aspect of your process. Also, I'd be curious as to what recent email posting of yours, to Pianotech, I may have missed. My own current personal archive of Pianotech goes back only to May of 2006, but I can't find any posting from you. The character of the 'lists' is defined by the characters ON the list. There is nothing constructive to be derived from posting these sorts of comments on CAUT. If you think there is some problem with Pianotech, work it out there.
