Mellotronists

Please excuse my ignorance - but really, what is the deal
with these anonymous owners?  Is there some sort of Mellotron
hitman on this list?  A popular/famous musician owns a
mellotron - what is there to hide?

I do understand if the owners are clients of list-members. 
But its not like they are medical patients or in need of
legal services; cases where privacy is a very sensitive and
private issue.  

They own a cool, limited production instrument!  What's the
big deal about letting the 400+ people on this list know who
they are?

Even at the risk of losing their business - I would probably
pay more attention to {insert popstar here}'s music if I knew
they owned a mellotron.

Anyhow - I assume that #717 has been recorded in the annals
of Mellotron existence, since the request for seriel numbers
came out immediately after my declaration of ownership.

John Hofmeyer
M400 #717

[ let's keep my name a secret, outside of this list,
though.... I'd hate for hometown security to come knocking at
my door in search of my immigrated instrument ]
