List and Andy: How about another list on which members of the pianotech list can chat? Sometimes I like talking with other piano technicians about non-piano stuff, but sometimes I just don't have time for ten thousand messages about what constitutes a dirty word. With one more list, I would subscribe to the technical one all the time, and the chat one when I had time. For members who wanted both, as I would sometimes, it would be transparent to them, just it is now for those of us who subscribe to both the caut list and the pianotech list, but it would provide a convenient alternative for those of us who sometimes don't want to delete 90% of the messages in order to get to the small kernel of useful tech talk. I am enriched by the myriad delightful personal ways of speech of many of our participants (remember Antares?), particularly the ones outside the US, many of whom speak better or more interesting English than we do. It allows me to enjoy their personalities, as long as it is coloration to a basically technical article. What do you think? Bob Davis Stockton, CA
