MOTM

Considering who the most active members on the gas station are, IMHO 
it would be suicide to enter MOTM in such a contest.  Anyone who 
needs "proof" like this is already bigoted anyway.  Let's be more 
specific here, there are two Gas Station members, Peake and some 
anonymous weasel, who spend enormous amounts of time bashing MOTM, 
plus several more who add in jibes at the slightest opportunity. You 
can be sure that they will swamp the list with their ill informed, 
loud mouthed, grudge based opinions. Why bother?

FYI I was creating avant garde music ala Subotnick or Dockstader 20 
years ago on a prepatched Octave Cat SRM.  While systems such as 
Buchla or Serge may encourage non-linear thinking and music, saying 
that Moog or MOTM aren't similarly capable is mistaking the design of 
the instrument with the talent of the musician.
