Re: Wacky UI - bah humbug --> Just to address the term "wacky".

Don't be put off by my use of the term "wacky" - although I 
definitely consider the Serge pictured here to be a prime example:

I was stating my opinion as a listmember, but not trying to squelch 
anyone else. Perhaps my message came off a little obnoxious. 

This list has a tradition of being one of the most tolerant and flame-
free on the net, certainly in the synth world.
