[pianotech] Heavy Pedal Spring

[David Love]

It's a forum and when you post a question people will answer in their own
style plus it's easy to misread tone in this format and some people do at
times interject humor.  I didn't see anything condescending or offensive.
Of course you're welcome to delete whatever you don't like.  But since
people may not know your background or experience or expectations they may
interpret the question you posted as coming from someone of less experience
since there are really only two ways to go, less resistance or modified
leverage.  As you can see, the leverage issue was something that some others
weren't aware of and hopefully some who didn't know about modifying leverage
learned something.  The threads you start sometimes digress into subjects
for the benefit of other than the one who posted the initial question.
That's the beauty of this forum, in my view.  Many valuable threads have
started just as this one did, with someone wanting only the simplest of
solutions.  So, forgive if this sounds like a lecture but I think your
reaction was a bit over the top.

I don't need this lecture.  Do not answer my posts with this attitude.   

I am a highly skilled technician.  I operate with intelligence and
diligence, always keeping the needs of my customers foremost in my decision
making process.  I would like to belong to community of like minded
technicians.

When a simple question is posed, a simple answer will suffice. This list is
to be used for purpose of information sharing.  Any advice offered on other
topics, such as the professionalism of the questioner, is off limits.
Public sarcasm is not an appropriate mode of communication between
colleagues.  In dealing with each other, the more professional behavior
would be to assume that we are each coming from an educated and capable
position. 

May I remind you that all of us in PTG pay our dues. No bully has the right
to commandeer this list for the purposes of belittling other PTG members.
Certain posts I have read over the last months are deplorably anti-social,
and do not represent the PTG favorably.  

In future, I will automatically delete posts from individuals who routinely
post hostile replies.  I'd rather go without the information than subject
myself to ugliness.   

But . . . . . to any of you still reading this  . . . .. . .  keep those
other posts coming  . . . . .  you know, those friendly, informative, often
humorous, thought provoking posts.  Love 'em!
