Re: Withdrawing from the Group?!

[ Editor's Note: The remaining messages in the digest are related to

After reading Robin Pratt's request to withdraw, I was both dismayed and confused... and felt I needed to add my "two cents." I can't understand why someone would not want to receive this Digest just because: (1) not every posting was a subject of their particular interest, and (2) because some peoples' opinions were different from theirs.
I purchased my player already rebuilt/restored, and although I find the rebuilding process extremely interesting, would never attempt to tackle it myself (I rebuilt a reed organ years ago as a college student, and that was difficult enough!). Likewise, I don't have much interest in MIDI subjects and technical/computer stuff. I'm far more interested in discussions of players, rolls, phonographs, organettes, and music boxes. BUT... the fact that my favorite subjects are not discussed as often as I'd like in the Digest would never stop me from happily reading it each morning!
Anyway, just wanted to thank you for your hard work on this publication, and know that it IS very much appreciated. And my advice to those who don't find the choice of topics/"direction of the group" to their taste is: send in some postings on subjects which YOU enjoy, and let's start discussing them also!!!
