Archive of the former Yahoo!Groups mailing list: MOTM

I was going to stay on the sidelines during all this discussion, but Imay as well throw my troubled two cents in. As one of the long timeearly customers, I've done my duty buying modules over the years, thelatest being a couple of 480s and 190s.

Unfortunately for me, most of the modules I wanted to buy next have notbecome available: 600, 450, 130, 520, 730. They may become available inthe future, but for me it might be too late - regardless of what happens withFrac vs 5U or kits vs. assembled.

I had originally planned on building my modular in a year, two yearstops. It has dragged out far longer than I planned, but with some funstops along the way. With the loss of Larry Hendry and then Paul H'shealth issues, I find I have lost the heart to continue planning,building, and obsessing over my modular. I'm not even sure if I willkeep it long term. In addition, even though I'm sure nobody is blamingme, I can't help but feel like I let people down with ourinability to keep the custom panel service going.

I feel like I'm slowly slipping away from this community which gave meso much enjoyment, and that's a sad thing. I used to post like a maniac, argue with Larry, Ken and Paul, and propose wild new modules. Now I don't have much to say. Apologies for the somber nature of this post - I guess I'm feeling extramelancholy since next Monday marks the 1 year anniversary of Larry andAnne's passing.

Whatever direction Paul needs to take MOTM, may it give everyone the excitement and joy that it has given me over the years!
