I signed my name as "RPT, CTE Madison Chapter Exam Site" in my official capacity as a Certified Tuning Examiner, having just presided over an Exam, the way I have done now for 10 years. I am fully aware of all of the rules, I have to be in order to hold that post, which is a volunteer one and which requires many, many hours of hard work. I, in fact encouraged Baoli to come to Madison and I'm glad he did. I'm proud of the excellent reputation of the Music Department at the University of Wisconsin and know Joel Jones RPT to be one of the finest, most hard working technicians there is. Boali studied hard and had excellent training under Joel and the results of his Exam confirm that. While I would be the first to discourage any talk about anyone having failed the Exam, or broadcasting of personal information, I think it is important to make excellence something to aspire to, not something to hide or keep private. At seminars and conventions, the fact that Members have passed Exams is always announced. When someone passes at the level that qualifies one to train as an Examiner him or herself, that fact is usually acknowledged too. Anytime I have mentioned the fact that I work as a CTE it has been to tie what I have learned and experienced in that capacity to the study and analysis of Tuning. If there is a benefit to being in that position, it is how profoundly one begins to understand what a complex subject tuning really is. I always encourage those who show they have the knowledge, talent and skill to become Examiners because it will only help them and the people they work with achieve a higher degree of excellence. To insinuate that I have "advertised CTE *status*" on this list is an insult but all I have to consider is the source to realize that it comes from someone who can't find anything better to do, much less write about. This topic does not even belong on this List, it is better suited for PTG-L. But I know why it was written here and I sure hope it is the end of it.
