Food For Thought

[Phil Bondi]

Hello. to all.

I am speaking without permission from my fellow 
committee members of the ECC. I don't think they 
will have a problem with what's about to be 
said. If they do, they will let me know. I've 
been corrected in the past..won't be the first time:

There's 2 subjects that seem to raise alot of 
debate/controversy/discussion/..whatever you 
would like to call it - they are politics and 
religion.

The recent discussion about tag lines is a 
perfect example of this. There's 3 things that I 
hope will be understood in the future:

1- We as a committee do not oppose tag 
lines/signatures. I am imagining it would take 
some serious code-writing to scrub tag lines 
from ever appearing in pianotech email. I simply 
don't see that happening in the near future.

2- For those that have a tag line/signature in 
their email: Please understand that your view 
will not be the view of the 800+ world-wide that 
are reading your email. Yes, it's cozy and 
mostly friendly here in pianotech. That's a good 
thing. You might want to consider deleting your 
tag line/signature before sending to a public 
list like pianotech. I do, and my signature has 
nothing to do with either religion or politics. 
  If I didn't delete my signature, you would get 
my Business name, web address, and phone# every 
time I sent an email to this list. Personally, I 
see this list as a chance to learn..not as a 
chance to advertise.

3- For those who find any tag line/signature 
inappropriate, we understand. Please consider 
the simple act of moving on as opposed to 
raising discussion  on a public list that really 
should be done privately. The archives will 
appreciate it.
