We are, as it has been pointed out many times, both piano = technicians and human beings. We discuss things in our lives that = interest us. This includes many topics not involving pianos. ok. Two topics that NEVER convince anyone in an argument are politics and = religion. I have never been persuaded in either topic by an argument. = If anyone of you has ever changed your mind in either of these areas = because of an argument, please let me know. I've never seen it before. = The one thing that can be assured when either of these items come up, = is an argument, then a fight, then a war. I am personally a man both of = religious faith, and political persuasion. I'm not embarrassed by the = discussion of either. However, on this list it always degenerates to = name calling, denigration of character, and verbal assault. Some are = hurt, no one is helped. Temperaments might bring on harsh words, but at = least they are on topic. Thanks, dave _____________________________ David M.
