First Law of Usenet: the thread is officially over when Hitler is mentioned.
Musical corollary to First Law of Usenet: the thread is officially over when
"*real* musicians" (*cough*) are mentioned.

Thank you, Richard (and Pete, earlier). You're all beginning to sound like
f*cking Rick Wakeman, for crying out loud. Remember him? Remember 1976?
"Punk? That's not *music*. Gawd, they can't even *play*". Honestly, now ...
I mean, I wouldn't know a "preset" if it came up and kicked me in the arse.
And I don't f*cking care, either!!! If it sounds good coming out of the
speakers, that's all that matters to me. Please take the "My di ... erm, SY77
is big ... erm, better than yours!" muso crap to rec.music.makers.synth or
somewhere else ...
(Personally, I'm still trying to figure out why it is that when Jamie makes all
these inflammatory statements, no one says a thing; but when XDZebra Pete
righteously flames him for them, everybody crawls out of the woodwork with
their blowtorches at the ready. Sheesh ... )
