>   My first question to Richard was about some SDS6 problem and if he can share the midi conversion with me, his answer was very helpful but saddly I am not technician and I will never be because I am simply "not interested" and without asking for it he sent me a schematic, Do I need to be able to read schematics to join this group or to ask questions? 
>   This is Richard answer "There are plenty of websites, book etc that deal with electronics, micro-controllers etc so you should use them to help yourself get some knowledge before diving into an area you no nothing of. If a person can't be bothered doing their own research why should another person be expected to do it for them?"
>   I am not interested in electronics, I just wanted to know if "maybe" the sds6 problem was a little fix that I can do myself.
>   After 3 emails he replied very fast I got no emails back anymore from Richard, then I really was worried about "maybe I said something that upset him" that was my first thought and I email him a couple of more times...
>   I have not too much free time, a waiter at work found this group and comment about it to me (I have 3 Indian restaurants and saddly I speak 99% of my days in another language, sorry about my broken english), I just wanted information because is what people is looking for in this groups right?, I am not here to make friends or talk about our personal life.
>   I just wanted 2 things: 1) how to burn a eprom and the sds6 midi conversion...that's all
>   I think to Richard If a person have no "some skills" , that person don't deserve to ask or something like that.
>   I exchanged 5 or 6 emails with him and in any of them there is a straight answer to my simple questions and that obviously leads to another email asking the same unanswered question!
>   Another very kind user sent me all the info I needed in 10 lines and I am very happy about it because is not big deal, is simple...
>   If someday I can help another member i will do it :)
