I appreciate it.
This is my last mail on the subject. Basically I217;m totally confused by Grant\u2019s current approach. BUT... That\u2019;s not saying it\u2019s a bad approach or Grant is a bad guy, etc... I simply assumed that the \u201cfull production\u201d announcement meant things are going back to the old ways (prices listed on website, ordering on the site,etc..) I was sad to see the 300 series go so you can imagine my excitement caused by it\u2019s reappearance. I think there\u2019s also a lot to be said about Doc saying that Grant \u201cis making this up as he goes along\u201d. Maybe that\u2019s why I got confused.
Bottom Line is.... Grant now has enough parts to build 200 pieces of the 300 series.
If that\u2019s how it was said in the beginning I would\u2019ve got the point. Grant, I think you should take more cues from all of the people that adore your designs. A few posts back you unceremoniously dropped the Envelooper. Meanwhile a lot of us here where thinking it was going to be one of the next modules! And a lot of us (including me) were more than willing to buy at least one.
So I just want to say I have no ill will toward anyone and especially none toward Grant and all of his efforts. He recently talked about all of the prototypes that don\u2019t make it out of his basement. I\u2019m sure I\u2019d buy them if he\u2019d let me! :)
Regards,
John

That said, i comprehend John's disappointment. His goodwill toward
Wiard is not in dispute in my mind. Though my contact with him is
vicarious, i know by indirect means that he is a generous and erudite
fellow and a careful and skilled engineer himself. He was an early
customer of Wiard long before it had acquired it's 'eBay cachet'.
From my perspective, John's complaints are not only his prerogative as
a customer in a free market but they have real merit in the context of
the current market for synth modules.
