[pianotech] Really, really irritated with the New forum system

  For sure this list is the advanced college level course on piano technology unavailable anywhere else in our organization on such a routine and inexpensive basis.
 So mistakes were made. Lets fix it and and get back to education

              It does not well become the PTG to ignore the      significance of this List.  
      
      I became a Member of the PTG absolutely BECAUSE of this List.       Over the years (I first subscribed in 1996) I gained such a sense      of a willing and helful community of experienced and      less-expereinced practitioners, all willing to help and dedicated      to sharing and increasing mutual knowledge, that I formed a very      favourable impression of the PTG.  
      
      Not all List subscribers are PTG members, of course, but a great      many are.  I saw this list as representing something of the      character and ideals of the PTG, and was so positively impressed,      that I decided to join the PTG. In time I may hope to become an      RPT.
      
      Had it not been for this List, I would not have joined the PTG       several years ago or paid to attend MARC in April.  It was a great      pleasure for me at MARC to meet regular contributors here such as      Joe, Jon, Jurgen, Dale and others, who in some measure I felt I      already knew.
      
      If the PTG does not value this List, then I must re-assess to some      extent how I feel about the PTG.
      
      I am sure none of us is against progress and new ways of doing      things. The very nature of discussions on this List proves that.       But we have all felt that a) the new Forum seemed to be sprung on      us "out of the blue", without ever having been mooted or discussed      here on the List where it matters most, and b) after months, we      are not happy with the practicalities of the new Forum.
      
      Personally I have been willing to give the  new Forum a trial, and      have posted to it a good number of times.  My most recent post      seems to be formatted very oddly, with lines a mile long,  It has      been difficult to decide where one should post, on various topics.
      
      I have now taken the decision to "vote with my feet" and post only      to this List, until such times as issues are resolved in some      measure.
      
      Best regards,
      
      David.
