Who is afraid of a good soundboard?

[A440A at aol.com]

Greetings, 
       I am not as afraid of a good soundboard as much as I am that this list 
will become useless if every commercial piano concern in the world is allowed 
to advertise on it.  We have a journal, which I think would be the best place 
to hawk wares.  More $upportive of the PTG, too. 
 
       Now, if a vendor was prepared to discuss the technical reasons his 
product is superior, and put some of their own values into the discussion, this 
is the perfect place to do it.  This list is an obscure, skeptical hall, with 
lots of dark corners and brilliantly presented ideas.   We live among 
digressive inhabitants, unfounded beliefs, temperamental crusades, and surreal tonal 
agendas.  In any direction are found privately nursed grudges, and a hundred 
'best' ways to do damn near anything.  There is also an mysterious side to it, 
for those that must look deeper.  

     Want to talk about soundboard wood here?  Throw it (instead of the 
packaging) into the hearth  and we will all gather 'round to see what's up.   What 
is the difference between this wood and another?
