Uh, what?

I went to the Yahoo Group to read your last messages to figure out what you
were talking about. You had two messages - one about the Command Stations
being discontinued (old, old news as many pointed out to you) and another
about help finding an XL-7.

I suggested eBay, which is where I just got my latest XL (my fourth - I
think I'm going to keep this one until it dies on me - tired of swapping out
gear constantly). This is the best place I can suggest to go to find a
Command Station these days, as other sources have dried up.

I'm not sure how anyone "rubbed it in your face" by being happy with their
equipment. Were you fishing for someone to offer to sell you their XL? I
don't get it.

This group has always seemed pretty friendly to me. Perhaps you would be
better understood when you send this kind of message if you would quote the
message to which this is a response.

I am not sure why you are in a snit.  You said you wanted an XL-7. 
Someone suggested looking for one on e-bay. There might be other 
options, such as calling around to music stores and telling them if 
someone wants to trade one in to let you know because you are 
interested in buying one, searching the web for on-line music 
stores, looking in newspapers--classified ads: musical instruments, 
etc.  Personally, I have done shopping for gear on e-bay. But you 
may not want to or be able to use e-bay.

True, Aaron was a little curt with his remark about e-mu being sold 
12 years ago, but I don't think he meant to be snide. 

The rest of the discussion that took off seems to be just people 
wanting to talk about issues related to e-mu's hardware synths as 
legacy gear.  I didn't see anyone being malicious.  (Believe me, on 
other lists I have spoken out against intentional rudeness and one-
upmanship. I reviewed the posts since yours and didn't see any of 
that directed at you.)

If I inadvertantly said something in my posts that seemed to be 
directed as hostility towards you, I apologize.  I'd like to think 
others here feel likewise.

If you really want an XL-7, keep looking. When you find one, check 
out the FAQs in the Files section. Come back with questions and you 
will probably find die hard e-mu hardware enthusiasts here--maybe 
even those who graduated to PC-based e-mu gear/software.

Why the anger?  

I got mine from eBay.  Just now I did a search and you can still get
one for under $500.

After you pick up box, you might get some good quality help here after
you chill out. :)
