. From  my point of view it's the wrong idea that we have to give up a
module after  the announcement because another company finishes a similar
module (with or  without taking the ideas from us or this group). On the
other hand we  normally do not start to develop a module if there is a
similar module  available on the market (whereas one could discuss the term
"similar"). But  if the idea came from us or was born in this group I think
we should have  the right to release this module even if another manufacturer
offers a  similar module in the meantime. It's not only because of the money
that has  been already invested (the development of a new module is very
expensive  and these charges pay off not before the serial production begins)
but also  as a matter of principle.




dieter,
i understand completely your point. i was speaking to the idea of  
"efficiency" in terms of freeing up time and money for alternate developments  just as 
one way i was looking at the issue and using those proposed module polls  as an 
example, i would have said push the v.c. granular idea its being a fairly  
new thing to bring to analog modulars over the v.c. delay module as being a less 
 radical (?) module.
best,
dave
