[sdiy] good books/sites for synth electronics

[Mike Gorman]

Folks,

I'm just about to treat myself to a set of Electronotes when I found the
following comment posted on the Electronotes web site from Bernie:

I wanted to post a message to Synth-diy, but was not successful so far.
Mailing from berniehutchins at yahoo.com bounced as a "non-member" posting
pending approval for the moderator. No additional reply however. So I
remembered another account that collected messages from Synth-diy, which I
thought would be an authorized member. Two tries - no posting. Here is the
text I was trying to post:

Hi Folks-

To clear the record, Hal Chamberlin and Barry Kline of course asked
permission to include Electronotes material in their books, and permission
was given gladly. Both these guys have made outstanding contributions to our
art, have gotten some recognition, but deserve more. During the years I was
teaching (like - a month ago!) every year I related two "Hal" stories to my
engineering students as examples to follow. Hal's book was the one and only
book on my shelf that I would never lend out.

The problem I had with unauthorized use of Electronotes material was
internet mischief - people posting our material, not acknowledging the
source, often pretending that it was their own. Others claimed that we did
not exist any longer, or made other ridiculous (but damaging) statements.

Since retirement from Cornell, I have had more time to work on Electronotes
stuff. One thing you folks might help with is making more suggestions about
who else should be on my "Friends" page.

More on the "permissions" question when I update the FAQ on the Electronotes
page.

I tidied up the message from Bernie a little, to get rid of a few spurious
carriage returns, but the rest of the text is unchanged.

Hope that clears things up a little.

yes i have chamberlins book

why was bernie mad? was it because he wasnt given credit? ( so many other
places seem to have taken circuits from EN and 
re-drawn them. i was under the impression that as long as you credited EN
and didnt take the actual original diagrams, it was ok.


?

thanks
