I would like to see this list grow as much as possible with two considerations. One is BYU and their resources. The traffic on this list so far is moderate compared to some, but we don't want to wear out our welcome. The other factor is that we make sure that people subscribing realize that this is for technical piano disucussions among technicians. I think we should we wide open to everyone, but we don't want to end up talking about what piano to buy. Yes, the archives of this list are available on gopher for anyone. I am part way done with a Piano Home Page with technical literature, a list of manufacturers, and other piano related info. I was considering putting a link to the pianotech archive gopher. I could also put info about how to subscribe to this list with a description of its nature if you think that would be valuable. I'll go with the group sentiment and the word from BYU about these. I can get space on a WWW server from my local internet provider for a modest fee $5/mo/Megabyte + $1/mo/Meg transferred. I wonder if any of you guys know the computer people at your university well enough to see if they might sponsor this page. It would be non commerical, other than it would have info about PTG and hopefully a list of RPTs by state if we can get that worked out with the Board of PTG. They are already considering that issue. If I could get FTP rights to the appropriate directory I would maintain the page. I am even considering keeping a list of coming events among techs and teachers.
