The free market makes what you do legal, not
necessarily ethical.  Those are two very different
things.

I'd be able to answer your technical questions... if I
had any experience with modular Moogs... but I don't
because I can't afford them... because people like you

could probably look it over and learn a thing or two
about it.  :)
