Can't we all just get along ? I think a quick look at world history or even the mellotron lists, would suggest the answer is no.

I can't think that anybody would confuse a mellotron with a rompler that has  a strange keyboard.

Is anybody on the list thinking of buying an M4000D? I would be surprised.

 I can understand why somebody would  buy an M4000 but not the M4000D why not just by the mellotron CD? Is Marcus still selling the Mellotron CD? I wouldn't if it was my business.

It's laughable really but I cannot escape being annoyed at the mindless mindset that trys to instigate consumer confusion by using a similar name yet riles at Memotron infringing almost everything including the fridge and underpants(leaving a witty personality unscathed). The truth is that NO ONE ELSE but he should be engaged in anything mellotronic. But that is never going to be the case because we are here for duration and no slight of hand or clumsy marketing device is going to alter our course.
