Sebastian-
Your posts provide an interesting read but they seem a bit 
aggressive and defensive. In my opinion Grant has a refreshing 
reservation in pushing his creation. He wants to make sure (as 
best as he can) that people are going to be happy with their 
purchase. He's like a guilds craftsman - old world kind of values 
- not into producing Wiards for production and profit's sake. The 
modules are expensive and he wants people to be pleased with 
their investment. When I first inquired about the system he said 
"look, this is the most complex synthesizer ever built and you 
may be served better by starting out with another system." This is 
not the usual line you hear from a person pushing their wares. 
I'm on the ground floor with modular equipment and Grant was 
giving me useful and thoughtful advice sans elitism. He was 
protecting me from making decisions too quickly. I've now got a 
Wogglebug and a litterbox for it and I haven't been happier. I 
intend on building the system one at a time slowly and learn and 
love it as I go (hopefully it won't shock me). Sebastian, I know 
you're an experienced user (compared to me by a long shot) 
from seeing your posts on this and the Serge website. The 
designers/builders of these systems are smart, interesting folks  
who I believe honestly care about the people they do business 
with. These are values that are fast disappearing in our global 
economy. They're looking out for our interests while trying to fill 
the orders and live their lives. What more should we ask of 
them?
Regards,
Bill Gibson
