Well, I *thought* it was a discussion, and I was not trying to attack you 
personally or pick any fights, just to state my opinion based on my own 
experiences. I have no other intentions than to discuss synth-DIY, which is 
what I thought I was doing.

Is there a problem with my stating an opinion of how to make circuits better? 
Isn't that the whole point of this list? Maybe you should learn to relax a bit 
more and don't take it so seriously when someone offers some constructive 
criticism. Instead of flying off of the handle anytime somebody suggests that 
something of yours is not *perfect* or could be different, why not maybe try to 
listen a little, and perhaps offer your customers the benefits of better 
engineering? It costs almost nothing to use modern references today, and proper 
bypassing is easy to do as well, I learned these techniques from this list and 
now use them to good advantage. Who cares how anybody else did things, I'm here 
to learn how to do things well now.

So just lighten up a bit, Tom, it's OK, we like your stuff, but sometimes we 
just disagree. :-)=

Take care,
Doug
