I see your point Paul.  "Internet legends" can be really destructive.  
No one here wants that (and if they do we'll put the beat-down on em 
:).  I have a couple EE degrees, so I'll speculate for the last time on 
this topic:  MOTM has a reputation for using the highest quality parts 
and producing the highest quality product.  You've been criticized in 
the past for going too far in this regard - I think you have a long way 
to go in the other direction before anyone could seriously suggest that 
MOTM quality is not up to snuff.  I mean what is the competition doing? 
  You can bet they are all going to SMT too, if that is the way the 
larger electronics industry is going/has gone.  So if people don't want 
MOTM because it uses SMT, they 'll have nowhere else to go.  This is of 
course setting aside the whole question of whether SMT is a "bad thing" 
in the first place - which no one here has suggested, to my knowledge.

Oh that's silly - but if you put green paint on the edge of your CDs 
they sound *waaayyyy* better!  Dude!  Try it - you'll see!
