Hello all,

BIG NOTE: I forwarded the full posting with Kevin's name. Matrix 
chose to post it as he did.

If it were my blog, I would have written Kevin to ask his permission 
to make the re-post. Perhaps this is matrix' policy on these things. 
While I'm not in favor of it, I'm not surprised by anything people do 
on the net. I've had my own words re-posted various places, both with 
and without credit, so I have always regarded that as something to 
expect if the content gets people's attention.

Forwarding interesting news to matrixsynth's blog is routinely done 
by his friends around the net. What Kevin had to say was obviously of 
great interest to the Moog fans.

On the issue of crediting the source I agree with you completely, 
Per. So now you know that I didn't 'steal' Kevin's post.

Just for background on me, I lurked in this list for several years, 
left for several years, and am reading digests again. I moderate the 
SynthSights list (there's an URL for it in my sig), where we discuss 
strategies for getting creative, plus anything else that piques our 
interest. Terrific and thought provoking topics around here!

Cheers,
