I am glad for the chance to restate more clearly what may have been obscured by the language of an over-active imagination. I was also glad to clear up any misunderstanding that the old "Tune it in the Fall and then again in The Spring" is not a federal mandate, but just longstanding convention wisdom (just how wise, we're discussing here. Larry Fine's "Piano Book" has pertinent insight on this.) >> Hello Bill, Yes, I guess we both went off the deep end with our egos! I agree completely that we are "both doing the same thing during a day's work" and that this job is hard enough without this exra-curricular wrangling. Whatever works within the parameters of professional standards and ethics are lively subjects for debate and discussion, eh? That's what I like about this list...it's always entertaining and informative. Thanks for the patience and understanding for a new de-lurker. And thank you so much for the " two pints of Ben&Jerry's Cherry Garcia ice cream. (Vermont's Finest.) " My fax had a hard time with it, though. I've taken the liberty to mail you one of Michigan's finest hard rock maple trees. It should arrive sometime next week! Best,
