>I am a veteran piano technician who has never joined PTG...
>should I be excluded unless I join?
If it's an open list for working technicians then of course not. We do not
exclude non-members from our chapter meetings, conventions or social
gatherings either.
>I have gained immeasureable benifits from being on this list...I also

It's been a valuable resource, which I'm sure will continue in one form or
another.
>Almost all WWW sites were founded by University types...is Joe Schmoe
>excluded?
Not anymore... Until recently we/they were though. I have several pages of
my own up now, a priviledge which wasn't open to me until recently when the
Internet went public.
>I love the rich gamut from erudite to mundane...not knowing what I might
>see is what keeps it interesting!
I know I always look forwad to opening my mailbox. I've already collected
several hundered kilobytes of information gleaned from here and I'm sure
that will continue.
>Through it all I am stimulated and learning!
Me too... the cost of an Internet connection is worth it just for the list
and the private email it generates.
