Paul - thank you for taking the time to explain the whole sordid story.
Truly appreciated.

It is funny that he is convinced about the domain names, yet this is the
first that this esteemed bunch of web surfers ever heard of it. The site has
been up for a while. Which brings me to one thing that gives MOTM so much
credence; the fact that you are linked from just about any important analog
synth site. And that there are real people, like us, that will attest to the
fact that your product is the best. There are probably some Wiard fanatics
out there, along with perhaps the rare Technosaurus or CMS person, but the
Mercedes of the modular industry is definitely MOTM (interesting that the
Ford Escort of modulars comes from Germany!). Anyway, I really don't think
you have competition. You build the best, and are priced accordingly
(actually, VERY reasonably in my opinion for what you are supplying). For
someone who appreciates quality, and wants the best, there really aren't many
alternatives. For someone who wants less than that there are a lot of
options. I own PAIA and Blacet pieces too; they all have their place and all
deliver. Will I continue to invest real money in either of those brands?
No. I have selected certain products that they make for certain
applications, but my focus will be MOTM.

Ok, enough rambling. Just wanted to let you know that many of us don't
consider other companies as competition. As far as new customers go, it is
quickly apparent what is real gear and what isn't. And hopefully you've got
enough evangelists here on the list to help spread the MOTM gospel.
