[pianotech] New List

[Encore Pianos]

I'm sorry, David, but that is confidential information that only the board
can discuss amongst itself because it is sworn to secrecy (issues of libel
and slander) and no minutes are taken.  And if they told you and you told
someone else, you could be brought up on ethics charges.  You're a
troublemaker for even asking.  It is for the best that you do not know,
trust them.  :-)

Me, I'm just going to sit over here and drool.  I love everything about
MYPTG, and I especially love my leaders.  I love them all.  Oh yes, I do!!

Will

I know PTG got this software because it is supposed to work with MemberMax
software that they use in the Home Office.  Does anyone know if MemberMax is
working any better than this Higher Logic?

Which is what I've been saying all along, mostly alone. If they'd fix the
character set, so we can have technical discussions with appropriate
characters instead of displaying HTML garbage in text only format, and allow
us to send mail and receive, attach and receive attachments from our email
client instead of having to log on to the X-creature to do it from the
browser, we would have all the basic functionality of the old pianotech list
except the short lag time for posts to show up. I'd like that fixed too,
unreasonable as that is. I know it's unlikely, but I think if someone offers
a "legacy" format that ostensibly works with an email client, it ought to
actually work, and somewhere in the organizations involved, someone ought to
at least simulate caring enough to give it an honest attempt and hold HL to
producing it. Otherwise, the death of [pianotech] will be it for the bulk of
subscribers.

Anyone got the latest numbers on comparison of [pianotech] subscribers to
[PTG pianotech] subscribers?
