Dear Frank,

Thank you for all the time and effort you put into PianoWorld. I enjoy each and every time I go into it.

If I may, I would like to submit one suggestion which I believe would be of interest to everyone.

I recently went into "Maestronet.com" and the first thing I noticed was that they have a "Views" column next to the "Replies" column which shows the number of people that just view each posting without necessarily answering it.

I generally post photos of concerts with only a small handful of replies (You may have seen some). It would be interesting to see how many people view them without replying. I'm sure many others would enjoy seeing the same info on their postings.

In Maestronet I posted a violinist (Isaac Stern) with absolutely no replies at all. However, so far their have been 85 people that have viewed it. This sort of encouraged me not to quit posting.

I don't know exactly know how much of a project it would be for you, but I would appreciate any consideration you might give it.

Thank you very much.

Zongora - on the left side of the screen near the top there is a "Recent Visitors link" When you click the topics appear with the number of viewings posted next to each topic. The link appears at the top of individual and group forums. I'll Private Message this to you (if I can get that function to work ( ).

I always look at your photos. I would always comment but do not wish to appear as a crazed 'groupie'. Happy holidays, your friend

of course - maybe Frank added the 'Recent Visitors' info in reponse to your request. Who knows?
