MOTM

I must strongly agree with Stooge Larry's thought #2.  This list is really
amazing and a great group of people.  For the most part everyone here is
very respectful - and surprisingly modest.  I have watched conversations
and even casually dabbled in a few only to find out that the persons that
I am communicating with have many many years of experience in modular
synths, or electronics, or music (or high voltage design! <bfg>) and often
do this type of work for a living.  What an great resource - thank you.  I
have learned a tremendous amount thanks to all of you - and without being
made to feel like a fool (unlike some other lists).  It will be a *very*
sad day indeed should this list ever close down.

I hope to make it to one of those MOTM get-togethers someday.  I'm in
Danbury, CT.  Do we have enough around here to do a NorthEast one?

Cheers,
George

(Well kept secret: Larry's really not a stooge.)
