the point is Squeak that you have made a connection that is just not neccessarily true. If i work for Korg and i love their products it does not mean that my opinion on the product is necessarily influenced because i work for the company. Thats a jump too far in your reasoning. Thats the implication of what you and others are saying regarding Ian and his enthusiasm for the yamaha products. That in my opinion is really unfair. Especially when you understand the tongue in cheek comments that Ian continually makes and the way he deliberatley teases and winds up some of the poster who go right ahead and do the same back ! I know marriages that are built on that kind of relationship :-) . Anyway i just thought it needed to be said.
