Offended?  Not.  I simply have a different point of view.  There are simply times
when "good enough" is, in fact, good enough.  I prefer to spend my limited time
and money where it is truly needed and take shortcuts or cutrate methods where
the result won't be significantly or noticably degraded.  If I applied "Uber-kill"
to all of my projects, I'd have a VCO.

However, I think you make the point quite clearly for many of 
us here as well in "If I had the cash I'd buy a MOTM..."
