Dear Brian,
Welcome to the LIST! Your comments questions ideas are welcome here.
I am happy that you aspire to upgrade yourself to the status of RPT,
however, you will find that there are many on this list who do not have =
those three little letters behind their names yet have a vast knowledge =
of the art of work in the piano field.
Happy gleaning and learning.
You can even learn from the IMHO petty bickering that pops up now and =
again. Mother

  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.

        Hmmmm, better be careful calling it the "National", hmmmmmm.=20

        Well, I don't know why a good majority of the rest of the Guild=20
        calls it the "National", but I, at least, call it the National=20
        to differentiate it from the various Regionals. It's no use=20
        calling the National the Annual, since all the Regionals are=20
        Annuals as well. As for the implied but missing "Convention",=20
        what other National occurrence are members of the PTG likely=20
        to be talking about, when asking each other if they are going=20
        to attend something next year?=20

        Also, of course, we could agree to call it the National because=20
        of the large numbers of people from various Nations attending it =
...=20



      I propose then, to bow deeply to Susan's and apparently the =
majority of=20
      Member's habits and logic, that the Bylaws be changed to call the =
Annual=20
      Convention,  "The National".  Every reference thereafter, either =
in speech or=20
      in writing to that convention must be changed to the words, "The =
National".=20

      I can see it now:  Wally Brooks RPT, Director of the 2005 PTG =
National in=20
      Atlantic City, NJ.  No room for any classes on "how to tune a =
piano out of=20
      tune" but 10 classes on player pianos.=20
