AW: [Doepfer_a100] Re: Can't trigger A-140 from A-190-2

Sidney, I was just pointing out that your way of addressing Dieter Doepfer was not polite. Being polite is obviously not a requirement; you can address him any way you like. It's just that in an online forum specifically dedicated to Doepfer products one would expect participants to at least know whom they are talking to. As for respect, in this forum I'll respect plenty of people. Attitude without substance will not impress me though. _____ Von: Doepfer_a100@yahoogroups.com [mailto:Doepfer_a100@yahoogroups.com] Im Auftrag von Sidney Gesendet: Donnerstag, 17.

As it is stated, "This group is about sharing tips,opinions and general knowledge about the A100 modular synthesizer", and people come seeking this from all over the world. So try to be kind next time you show your arrogance from wathever country or culture you are, because you know that this kind of attitude leads to nowhere. Neither you are officially speaking in the name of anyone in this group. Show some respect.
