This is all MOOT,
Paul can do what ever he wants to do, it is his idea
and business. I for one am on a budget for my modular
needs, this is why I went kits. Even at kit prices
the dot com stuff is much cheaper... but so is the
quality. Myself I prefer the MOTM and I will stay
Motm, if the prices get too steep for me I just will
have to buy less and be more choosey than I am now.
In my business (commercial Photographer) I get people
who say I am very expensive and I am compared to the
average shooter. But you get what you pay for. I am
an artist just like some of the musicians on this
list, dont you hate to be chisseled? So why are you
busting Pauls Balls????? oh that rhymed.
And Ken... what is going on with your patch book
series?????
I for one enjoyed it.
