> Well, it looks as though you are back in business again, Andy. That's
good. The world can use another forum for Player Pianos, I feel. I will try
to help you out again whenever time permits and I am able to. It is a good
thing to have a digest in which topics may be discussed in depth and with
vigor when often, there are more than one point of view and strong opinions
on the subject. You don't care if feelings get hurt sometimes, as long as
the truth comes out, so if the discussion doesn't get into the flaming
category and facts are presented, the reader can make up their own mind.
>
> In the art and science of rebuilding, a full, unimpeded discussion is
often more important than any other single factor, to my mind. Here, the
reader is able to trust the fact that this newsletter will not stop a
technical disagreement for fear of personal flaming. We have already shown
what happens, and how those fears are not justified because you will stop
publishing anyone who breaks the rule, and if I am not mistaken, you have
already had to do that. And now, we have an archive, which is necessary if
anyone is to retrieve past subjects. Congratulations. I think you may have
something here. These subjects tend to be both taken lightly, and greatly
misinterpreted at times, as well as these letters themselves-- so when
questions arise, they need to be addressed.
>
> I have always said that "How To" books will lead one right down a blind
alley. It is the "How Not To, and Why" books which are seldom published,
that cause the reader to understand what he's doing. This forum, therefore
should fall into that category sooner or later. Just keep with it. It might
be slow in coming, but the philosophy should prove its worth.
