[sdiy] Definition of Modular (regarding FatMan)

[Tim Ressel]

Yo,

I will be the first respondant to what promises to be
a heated string. I disagree: the Fatman is essentially
the same as a MG-1, which is not modular in my mind.
Perhaps it seems modular because the curcuit is
easilly split up into modules. The Fatman is certainly
fertile ground for mods, as you yourself have proven.
But no, unless you can unscrew and remove a module, it
is not a module.
