This is absolutely incredible! Let me set the record straight...just so
that all of you know the truth of the matter...

I, a musician, bought a MiniMoog "suitable for framing" from Mr. Kevin
Whyte of pinkpussycat fame and recieved it in scratched and broken
condition...Mr Whyte explained that I should be happy since he sold a
different one for $200 more in mint condition and the scratches only
cost me $200...To his credit, he sent me a card for my D-50 to make me
happy...but he still lied about its condition nonetheless. Then I find
out an Internet friend bought the other MiniMoog and "lo and behold" it
too was scratched and the face was ripped...I kept quiet...Then some-
one posted an email to the newsgroups complaining that the JD-800 they
bought from Kevin was scratched up when he sold it to him as "mint"...Kevin
calls him a liar...I respond with a public email of support for this guy
and let everyone know that I, too, have had trouble with Kevin lying about
the gear's condition...Suddenly I have an enemy...Kevin calls my Minimoog
friend above and tries to sell him a Prophet 5 rev. 2 in the box for 10
years...After much talk, Kevin admits that it is not mint afterall but
has a crack in the wood and the 10th oscillator is not working...so I warn
people publicly when I see Kevin advertising a Prophet-5 rev. 2 on the
newsgroups and all hell breaks loose...Kevin calls me 25 times at work
leaving me threatening voice mail messages telling me to l*ck his b*lls,
that he's going to sh*t down my neck, and ruin me for good...He threatens
to call 5 people a day for the rest of his life warning them not to do
business with me...I write Kevin and let him know I'm not after his
business and that I'm only a musician (which is the truth...every synth
I have sold I've reinvested the money back into my home studio and I've
only sold 10 items of musical gear in my life!)...I explain to Kevin that
what I'm after is honesty...I could care less what he charges...Kevin doesn't
believe me and even after I publicly announce that I was sorry for taking
another person's word for the condition of the synth he was selling...Kevin
does not give up...he finds out my home phone and begins harassing me there
with threats...I get my phone number changed...so he spreads some lies about
"ME" ripping "HIM" off...he lies about me trying to sell him a piece of
broken gear...then he says that "I" am a dealer...and now I have to watch
my back because he lives about 6 hours away and with the threats I've got
from him and the psychotic way in which he calls and either 1)walks around
his room saying nothing 2)threatens to call me 1000 times total 3)calls
me every dirty name in the book...Hey people! I'm worried about the life
of my family here! And now someone who has obviously not been following
this thread has the audacity to ask you to vote and gives you only two
options...both of which leave me guilty in the long run...when all I was
trying to do was warn other musicians like myself before they, too, get
ripped off...No more Mr. Hero...I can see why people in our society
stand by and don't do anything when someone is murdered in front of their
eyes...it really is a pathetic society we live in...may none of you have
to go through what I have been through this past week...

Oh...and I guess that means I'm not going to vote... :)

We don't really care about the vote as much as the choice of breakfast
cereal--much more important.
I think that WHOLE grain breakfast cereals are best for pure synthesis,
but others
seem to think that sugary cereals (e.g. Captain Crunch, Peanut Butter
Crunch)
are better for works based on sampling. Now, if I were a cynic, and
wanted to become flamebait, I would say that breakfast is dead, and that
lunch is becoming overpriced. (They just don't make it like they used to,
do they.)
And don't get me started on that whole GRANOLA fascism of the boomers...
Pink Pussycrunch has the fine taste of texas pink grapefruit, while Rock
McQuarrie has the wholesome goodness of Rock candy.
It's your choice....

The problem with the industry is too many people are using Frosted Lucky
Charms with extra colour marshmellows to flood the market with synthy dance
pop.

And I swear, if I hear one more techno-geek wanna-be go on and on about how
great Frankenberry is and how you can't make music without a box and how
it's perfectly reasonable to ask $1000+ for a box of Frankenberry, I'll
go Coo-Coo for Coco-Puffs!

I couldn't agree more! The last time I met up with one of those
Frankenberry/Count Chocula gurues he couldn't even show me ONE COMPLETE
midi piece anyway! "Here's the drum track, and the techno-goo-goo-crap
I layed over it and-ooops! I stopped there!" Musta run out of
marshmallows or something! I mean, in the heyday of smurfberry crunch
this kind of thinkg would NEVER happen. Damn trendy monster cereals
were NOT cool when I was young... not in ANY way...

I did just finish off a box of Tony the Tiger's flagship product, but
I'll be damned if my pects look anything like his, my fiance can't
figure out either, and lastr week between the beans and raisen bran,
OH-MY-GOD!!! It was, well... have I mentioned Tony the Tiger could
probably kick my sorry excuse for an ass?

Put 'em to sleep! :)
