I think the only reason why some of us are feeling frustrated comes from the awareness that there won't be any new "MOTM" modules in a MOTM format, there's a wide offer of motm format modules around but still we may feel as unnatural that MOTM itself is switching to a new format for the future. We didn't choose MOTM for the format alone but for its quality and originality of its designs and the 500 series (from which we are now excluded) is confirming that same quality and originality. A new MOTM module comes first in our wishing lists, so disappointment comes punctually, it is a natural fact. Paul, You may have your good reasons of course and it is not a waste of time if you try to express them (as you are doing already) to the MOTM community, we deserve it, we are faithful to our choices and to our passions as you are.
