It's the ones who don't read the originals that I'm concerned about.

OK, maybe not actually *concerned.*

>But why put in the negative observation?<

I honestly wish more people would. You'll never hear me gushing 
about something in a forum, then writing negative things about it in 
private email. What you see is what you get. If something sucks, I 
say it sucks. If something is good, I say it is good. I have many 
faults but being false is not among them.  And it's a sword that 
cuts both ways.  By way of example, I'll let you all in on a secret, 
but don't tell anybody, OK?  I continue to give high praise to 
Guido's Thelonius Moog album, but the truth is that Guido and I are 
currently not on good terms personally. The fact that we don't get 
along right now has no bearing on his being a good musician/producer 
and that his album is excellent.

But it wasn't grudging.  I admitted that he proved his point.  And 
when I wrote that it was "much appreciated," I *meant* it. Just as I 
meant the other stuff.

They may be spoken of together, but I'm still waiting for Switched-
On Buchla.

Still.
