[pianotech] New List

[David Skolnik]

OK. So, first, like, stop trying to provoke 
Duaine.  There may have been or yet be times when 
such a response seemed / will seem justified, but 
as you migrate to the newer list, you'll likely 
find less tolerance for the energizing 
smack-downs we learned to love and expect when 
entering this fading venue.  The extended Code of 
Conduct for e-lists seems quite specific about things like that.
Second, he was absolutely correct to be 
baffled.  The link that John Parham posted  as:  www.my.ptg.org

actually went here: 
http://www.ptg.org/Scripts/4Disapi.dll/4DCGI/cms/review.html?Action=CMS_Document&DocID=19&MenuKey=Menu27
as do the search results for ptg.org or 
'pianopage'.    From that home page, you have to 
click on my.ptg.org, under Quick LInks.

Here is the Log in page where members and non-members can set up accounts:
http://my.ptg.org/login/?ReturnURL=http%3a%2f%2fmy.ptg.org%2fmyprofile%2fprofile%2f


Here are the instructions for nonmembers:

There's a learning curve, and some people are 
still unhappy, or at least uneasy with the new 
format, but, given the option, or lack thereof, 
it's worth getting one's toes in.  The Home 
Office has been helpful in answering questions.

Good luck.
