Scott,

I Personnally think that it's a bit annoying to have them with odd measurement since there 
seems to be some type of standard on that...( I mean there's no need to do what others 
does ultimately... so don't take that personnal or anything) But That would be the only 
thing that ticked me off a bit with some of The Harvestman modules... However, i'm 
waiting for the Zorlon Cannon that should land at my door in some days... :D
so basically it's more or less a superficial "complaint" which will not stop me from getting 
the module, what really counts is what it got in its guts!...but it's still annoying, having to 
put in the same row two modules that you wouldn't maybe not put in the same row... eg: 
Zorlon Cannon which is more a sound source + Malgorithm which is a sound processor, so 
maybe you should try to stay in the even numbers...
anyway sorry for the rant... But what can I do? I'm an angry Frenchy from Montréal so you 
know... :P  
But Yeah...I can't wait to recieve my Zorlon Cannon, whatever hp it is...!!!!

so have all a good night and weekend! :D
