Doepfer

Charles, I look up to you and admire you a great deal, but I don't see 
how "So far we did not find a supplier but we have not yet searched 
very intensively" is a statement that they'd researched an extensive 
list of sources for the meters.

The last time the subject came up, the response from Doepfer was even 
more evasive. I understand that my priorities aren't Doepfer's 
priorities, or those of the user community either. Of course Doepfer 
invested time and money in developing the Polarizer and the Min/Max 
module, which didn't seem no have originated with the user community 
at all.

In any case, my priorities ARE my priorities, and I don't see why 
anyone would object to me making decisions based on my own priorities.

Joe
