Hi,

So now we're back in a discussion I don't really want to have, but I
don't want to be a fascist moderator either. I think many
misunderstandings on this list is due to the fact that we have very
different backgrounds as far as languages go... (Patiently awaiting
offline abuse...)

Anyway - I love, as a collector/service guy of my own gear, if people
share and upload schematics. I think those who sell copies for profit
are mostly crooks.

My post below was regarding people selling copies that is available for
free on Paul's and Michael's sites. Same goes for eprom sounds on Ebay
and similar.

So Fabio, it was not to harrass you.

Pax,
