200e

The membership rules are simple - one must mention ownership, use of, or recent purchase of 200e modules or systems.

Given the number of requests by "die hard analog fans", "modular enthusiasts", "patch cord fetishists", etc. I am merely trying to reduce the posts to topics that relate directly to the use of the instruments.

As a victim of some of those flames, I agree with the sentiment, but 
of the two people who recently wrote me, one has just ordered a large 
system, and the other is in the planing stages of a 200e purchase. I 
would think that we should find a way to accommodate this class of 
people, too.

It's not like there are a lot of places that someone who is interested 
in Buchla instruments can turn to for more information.

Fair enough, but I still think that people who are seriously  
considering purchase should also be allowed in, not that I have any  
way to detect such people, mind you.
