I second Stephen's comment. People should lighten up just a little. Those of us who have been on the list since it started can testify that "For Sale" notices have been very, very few and I believe that reasonably unusual items as in Philip's posting do not stretch our guidelines to the extreme. I doubt any of us would care to see frequent, daily ads for used Accu-Tuners, new software or tools, rebuilding services, or common pianos. Yet to blast Mr. Jamison at this point seems somewhat harsh and a little premature. If everyone agrees to use some discretion when choosing what to post or not, I think this danger and precedent will check itself. I have much more often wished that some of the short, cute messages of questionable meaning and value which really should have been sent privately, could have been identified as such in the title. Some us get 60-100 messages/day, and I'm sure a few get even more. In a another year, or even less, we could be nostalgically recalling the days when we had a list exclusively of technicians.
