Wiardgroup

Just to also clarify:

a) Robert Rich is NOT "on the payroll" and has NEVER
been. In fact, I am the only "payroll" person. I am
lucky to have many folks helping me out: Robert is one
of many such folks. And Grant is another.

b) Gino can clarify the timetable. MANY MONTHS passed
between 'first contact' and publication. The review
was supposed to come out before NAMM 2001. It did not.
In fact, Robert went WAY out of his way to avoid even
the slightest hint of a conflict while at NAMM. He was
only at the booth about 5min every 3 hours, just to
re-tweak the "talking chaos" patch. I *insisted* he
avoid the booth like the plague during the show hours.

c) Robert is a customer, the same as the other 300
people. He happens to be my most knowledgeable and
capable user, but still just a user.

d) OK I admit I am a *huge* Robert Rich fan, I have
been listening to his music for over 15 years and
burst with pride at his 2 new CDs Todd mentioned. The
*same* as Grant when bursts when he hears Wiard on CD.
Folks, this the the *only reason* we are doing it.
Certainly NOT the money! I'm paying my taxes tomorrow,
and MOTM was 7.8% of my total income. And about 60% of
my total waking hours. So why bother, so folks can
asses front panel graphics, knob size and wire gauges?
Because we have *pride* in our work, and in the end
result (YOUR work). Heck, I never thought I'd get this
far anyway.

I agree with a previous poster: focus on *positive*
aspects. Grant is not evil, and neither am I. We both
have "day jobs", this is a *hobby*. Everyone think
about your typical work-week. Then ADD the Wiard/MOTM
work. It's a wonder Grant & I just throw up our hands
and grab some brewskies. Hmmm.......
