Well, Ric, I guess it's a combination of both messages. Quit your whining 
about no shows, because, as I said in my article, for most people, there are 
other things in life that might be more important than getting the piano 
tuned. Let me put it this way. Have you ever forgotten an appointment?  I 
don't care why, or when, or what the circumstance was, that doesn't matter. 
The fact is, that people do forget. 

Now, if the same person stood you up twice, then you know the old adage: fool 
me once..... But given that we see about 20 - 30 people a week, (that's over 
a thousand a year), the odds are pretty good that one or two of them are 
going to forget. My message just says, accept it as part of our job, and get 
over it. 

Have a nice day.

Wim
