Charles, I look up to you and admire you a great deal, but I don't see
how "So far we did not find a supplier but we have not yet searched
very intensively" is a statement that they'd researched an extensive
list of sources for the meters.

The last time the subject came up, the response from Doepfer was even
more evasive. I understand that my priorities aren't Doepfer's
priorities, or those of the user community either. Of course Doepfer
invested time and money in developing the Polarizer and the Min/Max
module, which didn't seem no have originated with the user community
at all.

In any case, my priorities ARE my priorities, and I don't see why
anyone would object to me making decisions based on my own priorities.
