[pianotech] New List

[Terry Beckingham]

Mark,

That wasn't me who suggested that perhaps we should close the list to 
non-members. That was Paul T. Williams

Hi, Terry.

I wouldn't want to close the list to all non-members just because of one 
person. Instead, we should have the right (and maybe this is already in 
place) to warn somebody, then if they persist, summarily unsubscribe them. 
That way, benefits are available for all who care to avail themselves, 
except those who can't or won't be civil. I can hear the storm of "Buts" 
gathering already, and yes the devil is in the details, but I can't accept 
that we should therefore be consigned to accepting just anything anybody 
feels like throwing, with no recourse. This our list (PTG's), and 
ultimately we ought to have the power to filter out people who stubbornly 
adhere to a pattern of behavior that the powers that be find objectionable, 
or destructive, or otherwise unacceptable. Do we have that power or not?
