Dear Joel, List,

I am certain your motives are pure in asking this, but really, Joel, even
the Piano Technicians Guild (PTG) can't decide unanimously from year to
year what to call some of its own members, let alone attempting to
introduce the possibility that someone, whether a member of the PTG or not,
should *not* be called a Piano Tuner based on the above statement.

Oh well, maybe I'm farther gone than I realize in understanding some things
:-)
