<DIV>Hi To All</DIV>
<DIV> About a year ago I found myself interested in synth stuff
after</DIV>
<DIV>a long period of pursuing a real career (medical
electronics)</DIV>
<DIV>To save time and design work I decided to buy pcbs and other</DIV>
<DIV>selected items from people off this list. Big mistakes on my
part!</DIV>
<DIV>After about a dozen or so transaction I have found the clear</DIV>
<DIV>majority to have ended in simple fraud. Or at the
very least </DIV>
<DIV>a complete arrogant and uncaring dishonest attitude.</DIV>
<DIV>Is it just me? Does anyone else here have this experience?</DIV>
<DIV>What is it about this list? I am perplexed. Also believe me when</DIV>
<DIV>I say it is not really the money I have lost. It is the pain in
the</DIV>
<DIV>ass about it all! I have made a pact with a friend to slap me
really</DIV>
<DIV>hard if I have the urge to buy from the synth-diy group.</DIV>
<DIV>I now understand the synth-diy idea, that is I must design and</DIV>
<DIV>fabricate anything I want. I can do that, progress is just slow
due</DIV>
<DIV>to limited time on my part. I will do all future projects myself.</DIV>
<DIV> Having said all that let me just say that the above rant does
not</DIV>
<DIV>include elby designs. Thanks Laurie for being such a reputable
business</DIV>
<DIV>person.</DIV>
<DIV> If anyone wants a list of recommended suppliers drop me a
line.</DIV>
<DIV>Jeri</DIV>
