Some time ago, I posted a complaint on this list about a particular brand of piano, more like venting my frustration about the way that it tuned. Perhaps my post was not worded properly, but my post was picked up by someone monitoring this list. Somehow my comments had been misunderstood to mean the pianos were untunable. This was not what I intended to say, but somebody thought that's what I meant. Next thing I know, my boss called me into the office. He called me every name in the book. I nearly lost my job and company the piano line. I had to call and apologize for my mistake to the distributor/manufacturer. Somehow, my apology was accepted, and everything was forgotten. I was told by my boss that I could have been sued. Had I not mentioned the brand name, nothing further would have happened. Since then, I'm very careful not to mention names. Be careful what you write on the internet. It's out there forever, somewhere. FWIW. Paul McCloud San Diego On 02/24/2010 9:24 AM, Chuck Behm wrote: > >The brand is irrelevant to the question.
