Take it easy there, no need to get your panties in a bunch and take it
personal. I have read the whole thread and several others just like it
over the years. If you read my post I pointed you to a company that
offers several racking options at many different price levels. Take a
look at Peter Grenader's system, he's managed to populate a very large
modular without buying a G6. The point is alternatives are out there so
maybe Dieter can worry about new modules and not about providing cheap
racks that don't fit his design scheme.
