Apology to JH and list (New Wiard Module: Borg "Assimilator" Filters)

[Haible Juergen]

Hi Grant,

there is *really* no apology needed.
I remember well that you helped me with schematics in the very beginning
of my internet participation. I can't track back which schemos these were,
but chances are that these were the very Buchla circuits this thread was all
about. That would be an irony, wouldn't it ?
So if there would be anything to apologize, it would be my part to do it.
But as I said, I don't feel any animosity in either direction - in contrary,
I enjoy this great community.

All the best,

JH.
