Nothing ironic about it at all.. read into it what you will... reality is its simply a typo.. I have a tendancy to type a bit fast when I get engaged.

That kind of viewpoint is peculiar to this last hundred years or so where the idea of universal truths have been dismissed... everything now has become relavant. Sad that so many buy into this kind of nonsense. Human endeavor is human endeavor. When we let machine decide then it is no longer human endeavor. You "definition" of what a piano tuner is includes this as a possibility. It is therefore in error as piano tuning is a human endeavor. But then perhaps you are willing to go so far as to remove this art of ours from the realm of human endeavor as well ??? Think a bit closer about what you have been saying Keith. > It's been educational. I think not. You have preformed poorly and displayed only a desire to find whatever hole in argumentation you can, and at whatever price. A particularilly sophist approach, which has severed no educational purpose whatsoever. But if you wish by your above statement to end this recourse.. then so be it. I am sure we will have another go at each other in the future.. > > Keith McGavern > Registered Piano Technician > Oklahoma Chapter 731 > Piano Technicians Guild > USA Now just in case anyone thinks any of this is inflammatory... Let me state emphatically that I have the greatest respect for Keith. I enjoy immensely these little sparing sessions we have. I say every single word with a healthy portion of humour in my heart, and feel confident in Keith as the fine person he must be that he is able to take all this in the spirit in which it is meant, and offer in return his viewpoints in that same spirit. -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F.
