hi olafur, it's just the actual word for word transcription i got
from the Collins English dictionary. i guess florian took a little
offence to my brute force tactics concerning the state of the
schaltwerk is in and the fact i did not sign off properly to his own
liking.the other members who partcipated and offered their opinions
and points of view did not seem to mind.after all of the people being
ignored by doepfer on its own site for the past 2 or more years. i
felt it was my right and duty to bring up the subject on this board,
and seeing as Doepfer has more presence than on its forum and also
because they do control A100 systems. so to act like a child at
playschool and spew one sentence invectives was his doing not mine.
peace and keep together,
RM
