[disklavier] Re: Recruitment letter to DUG Group.

1999-12-22 by Terry Holek

Come on Todd - maybe Mark is getting a little tired of the "official"
Yamaha commercial selections and has a stash full of things he wants to
contribute.  I say, without hesitation, let him in.

Since I'm a very new (1 hour) member I thank you for your effort and
time in getting this thing going, but I don't see any point in becoming
exclusionary.  Egroups.com is a general service for anyone, and there
is nothing stopping someone else from setting up another disklavier
group to compete with "yours".  We don't need that sort of thing.  Lets
all have fun and not get too excited if there may be some "spies" among
us.

later, I was annoyed by even more BS about volume control on the DUG
board.  Then I waded through yet more of the standard admonitions about
Yamaha spending millions of dollars maintaining the DUG e-mail address
and thereby paying for the right to forbid price discussions etc.  This
caused me to explode with a sarcastic stream of consciousness posting
on DUG.  Now, less than 24 hours later, we are +27 and now have 84
members.  Wow, I should get angry at bed-wetters and whiners more
often!  By the way, don't worry about the personal fortune I am ripping
through funding this site, you guys are worth every penny of it.

comes from MWisner@... .  I don't know Mark, but I sure do know
that domain.  Am I admitting a spy if I approve him?  Realistically, he
could easily back door his way in as Innocent@... and I would
approve it.  If there is a strong consensus to keep him out,  somebody
better send me a complete enemies list to check against our membership
list.  Not realistic I suppose.  I'll sit on the application until I
hear some opinions.
