[sdiy] new list: synth_diy @yahoo

[ChristianH]

Oh dear, moving to a colorful modern alternative is exactly what killed
the Emagic/Apple Logic list last year. Became completely worthless after
going to a flashy forum, and reducing the content to a useless minimum.

Can't really understand why people are so willing to sacrifice this
wonderful diy list too, just because of this one idiot.

Ok, Rick may be hard to find (as we all know), but I'm sure due to the
severity if this imcident, he will eventually sort it out by removing
this ****.
I think, hastily running away doesn't help anyone of *us* - except that
Samppa can see that his puking had some effect.
