[pianotech] dues payment fiasco

[Terry Beckingham]

I am pretty darn sure that putting the discussion on PTGL would not have 
any more effect than leaving it on this list. They (whoever they are) don't 
care.

Maybe we could pay HL to maintain this list instead of their useless web 
based forum. But wait... they would probably screw up this list too.
