WOW-
It's great to see that the designer of paul's MOTM website has come out in
the open for all to cheer/jeer at! I'm sure many of us have wondered if
Paul does this all himself, (renaissance man that he is!) or had some
artistic Igor to his Baron von F. toiling away in a dungeon somewhere...

I do think that FM2 should have a -5 to +5 pot instead of the 1-10, but I
defer to the Man himself on that...

In a related note, I think I now understand the phenomenon known as Puff
Daddy, or how D.Bowie/Queen felt when they heard "Ice Ice Baby" for the
first time.
You know-when someone works diligently to craft a site with a new logo and
images that come close to showing the *excellent* quality that is MOTM
(both technical and aesthetic-we all know MOTM's are some of the classiest
designs around) and then one day sees a chopped up 8 bit doppleganger
wandering around the net for all to see, it is a bit unsettling.

Believe me, it's bad enough when you have to go from 24 beauty down to
jpeg, much less 8 bit bmp. Imagine how a 2 bit knockoff feels.

But hey, what can one do but have some fun with it? It's the nature of
hiphop, Marcel Duchamp and Linux...;-)

After all, are we not all merely shadows-harmonic modulations if you
will-of the perfect Platonic Ideal synthesist; who never runs out of money
nor space nor patchcords? ........Naaaah.
Just Moe, Larry, Curly, Shemp, et al. More Jung than olde Plato.

Please welcome another wandering soul into the blessed church of MOTM. Holy
chao, some of you look familiar!
I pray that Paul will receive this prodigal son....and if he ever solders
up a bitmap-to-MOTM converter, I'll get a small cut!
