	What about the young ones like myself and others who read and
appreciate Electronotes? That previous comment you made strongly implied
that someone's appreciation of intellectual property and electronotes was
directly proportional to their age. I have to say that I'm a young pup by
most listmembers' standards (27), but Electronotes is something that I
duly treasure and have read what little bits of it I purchased
frequently. It's what's allowed me to gain knowledge without going to
school thus far, and actually landed me a 3-year stint as an engineer at a
major synthesizer manufacturer. 
	I also didn't take kindly to this implication, but instead of
pointing fingers and degenerating into idle banter as this thread has,  
showed some maturity and let it rest.
