Imagine that!

As should any company that responds like this to us little pests.
Really. They didn't have to do anything and certainly did a lot more
than that by patiently answering email, explaining their reasons, and
then changing the website immediately. I doubt I would have had the self
control that Dieter did with all the whining and name calling OVER
NOTHING that has gone on the past few days.

As we all know this is his favorite hobby. Doepfer just can't wait to
start destroying all the cheaply bought awesome synths that no one knows
about so they can sell their $199 VCOs and make a million dollars. Then
they'll buy all the new synths and start "smashing up" those. Oh what a
glorious plan!

Jesus! They never bought ONE damn synth and removed the parts. Not one.
Ever. They proved they listen and respond to user feedback and have been
more than patient on this issue. Can we just let the Analog Bible
thumping stop on this? I mean I love ignorantly bashing a good company
as much as anyone but even this thread is wearing a bit thin.
