You know, the other thing that strikes me as odd about a potential  
group buy of Redmatica products on the EXS List is that this isn't a  
subset of his total potential clients; it's all of his potential  
clients. The _ONLY_ people who can buy Redmatica products are Logic/ 
EXS 24 users. It's not like this group buy would attract different or  
new customers for him. It's basically just asking him to discount the  
products.  It's kind of like asking a heroin dealer to give a group  
discount to heroin users. Who the hell is going to buy anyway except  
heroin users in the first place! :-)

Having said that though - I think I did originally buy EXS Manager  
through the LUG group buy many years ago......
