Re: Thanks, Rx

I don't blame Rex at all for saying what he did.

While I take full responsibility for my comments, please remember they are
my opinions and nothing more. Synth prices aren't regulated by the
government and neither are the business practices of their manufacturers or
the reaction of the customer base to them.

Please understand however - I've got nothing against Serge's designs. They
are fine musical instruments and I've never intended my comments to be taken
that way.
