Sy : ilagitami non carborundum (sp?)

[Avery Todd]

Jon, Sy and list,

   I agree with Jon and Andre. Even when someone does get a little "terse"
in the reply, many times an apology is forthcoming. I, personally, just try
to word any response I make in the same manner I would like it worded to
me. What was that post earlier about "do unto others....." ? That should
apply here, too. If it happens to be a very controversial subject, just get
out your flame proof suit and keep it handy and don't worry about it. :-)
  And Jon, in case you "have" misplaced it, The Piano Page has a link to
the archives and to the full text searcher.
   Well, got to stop and go do a couple of tunings for recitals. Ah, a
piano tuner's work is never done. One of the tunings, however, is for an
outside artist, so at least I'll make a little extra money for working on
Saturday.
