I wouldn't lose sleep over it.  What you should be concerned about, 
however, is negative reviews from users/owners.  But even that has 
value, if it results in positive change.

Also keep in mind that non-owners/users may not be able to give an 
accurate report of operation, but they most certainly can discuss 
design *philosophy*. Frankly, I'd like to see MORE such discussion. 
There is only so much one can say about patches (yawn) and gear 
(everybody loves theirs. What of that?). I love to hear about why 
people make the choices they do, designers and buyers alike.

Speaking of which, Wiard modules in MOTM format might be something 
to explore...

But enough of dotcom!  :-)
