As a new member of this list and a new member of the PTG, I am so  grateful
for the chance to learn from folks all over the world who have vast
experience in an area where I want to learn.  My purpose in becoming a
member of this group was to be able to tap into the knowledge of others who
have "been there before".  I look forward to reading about technical items
and related topics that will help me become a more proficient and worthy
tuner/technician.  It is the exchange of those terrific ideas that I look
forward to reading about, not this.

Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to respond to my questions about
"piano stuff".  I look forward to learning more from such an outstanding
group of people.  I aspire to be like you and add RPT behind my name.

  I was going to send this off list to those involved, but it raises and
issue that I think is worth at least a comment.  This type of dialogue
doesn't really belong here, serves no purpose, is a waste of time and is
counterproductive.  The list is a valuable resource for the exchange of
information and I am inclined to push for a list manager who will restrict
access to those who can't function effectively as there own editors.  I am
sure that there are other forums more appropriate for the venting of anger
and frustration, casting aspersions, verbal taunting, and sucking on the
sourest of grapes.  For those who have such needs, I wish you would use
them.

      Well, I don't know why a good majority of the rest of the Guild
      calls it the "National", but I, at least, call it the National
      to differentiate it from the various Regionals. It's no use
      calling the National the Annual, since all the Regionals are
      Annuals as well. As for the implied but missing "Convention",
      what other National occurrence are members of the PTG likely
      to be talking about, when asking each other if they are going
      to attend something next year?

      Also, of course, we could agree to call it the National because
      of the large numbers of people from various Nations attending it ...



    I propose then, to bow deeply to Susan's and apparently the majority of
    Member's habits and logic, that the Bylaws be changed to call the Annual
    Convention,  "The National".  Every reference thereafter, either in
speech or
    in writing to that convention must be changed to the words, "The
National".

    I can see it now:  Wally Brooks RPT, Director of the 2005 PTG National
in
    Atlantic City, NJ.  No room for any classes on "how to tune a piano out
of
    tune" but 10 classes on player pianos.
