Hi Adam,

Isn't 2a the same as 2? They "don't care enough" because "they aren't
interested", right?

Re: silent contingency
I think it's more like saying "Everybody who doesn't vote wouldn't have
voted for these candidates" (so why bother)

People not voting say volumes about the choices they have to vote on.

An as far as the UEG bounce issue, yes that is a problem, but the UEG button
was very much an after thought to just "stimulate" the module when adjusting
knobs. I didn't intend for it to be used much, but apparently it gets used.
I created a s/w fix for the debounce, but then it limits the maximum rate in
which the UEG can be triggered. I think most people trigger the module from
the GATE jack and not the button, so I chose to not add the debounce because
it affected a more important function.

If you don't complain about a problem it won't get addressed.

The reason the UEG s/w rev came to light was because several people asked
for features and there was a common thread to them. I did that for free. I
wasn't fixing problems; I was adding features. I don't think many other
companies do that without charging for it. Yes there are some, but it's not
common.

Please, everyone, these are discussions by reasonable adults. You don't have
to feel like we're fighting or dissing (is that how you spell that??) each
other. They're just points of view that have to be communicated in an awful
way...this would be so much better at a user's group, or even on the phone.
I think the outcome of all this will be better product.

Regards,
Tony

2a. They aren't interested in the product.

How on Earth can you count a "silent contingency"? That's like saying that
everybody who doesn't vote in an election would vote for the same candidate
if they did vote.

Just because I haven't complained about the horrendous switch contact bounce
problems in your products doesn't mean that I like it, or that I don't care
about it.
