Mellotronists

To Mark and all,

First of all I don't hate anyone in particular, Mark included, although there 
may be a fat bastard somewhere I can't stand but that's for another day.

So let's get a few things said and I'll be off for a nice cuppa tea.

Vance asked about grinding pinchrollers and Mark got all silly about the 
futility of it.  He's wrong.  If I have to explain why then we're in drongo land 
and I'll feed him a warm banana.

We comment quite regularly with hints, tips and general info.  We are also 
busy.  Very busy.  Busy enough to support three guys full time each week of 
every year without having to translate, wash dishes or play cabaret in the 
evenings.  Not a bad achievement when we don't own the mellotron name or have DK's 
head start.  We do have an order book that stretches into 2006 so we're doing 
something right and the US is still a major market for us. To sum up, you can 
always find time to contribute.

We have no problems with Markus and applaud his work.  I don't remember 
slagging him.  We wouldn't necessarily implement everything as he has done but that 
is only to be expected.  We are individual businesses with our own solutions 
and with John's mellotronic education in the orignal factory, I'll stick with 
his judgements based on good engineering and electrical practice.  He also 
favours grinding pinchrollers Mark.

Never really expected to. Les and his brothers didn't so why should anything 
change?  I do like walking across the lawn to the workshop though and that 
means a rich, comfortable life but without the wealth.

Did I mention grinding pinchrollers or grinding boredom from dullards with 
trite comments and little intellect.

I don't hate you Mark, just wish you'd lighten up, make a joke, get irony, 
enjoy the bizarre and ridiculous rather than drag us all down with drab mail.  

Did I mention grinding pinchrollers?
