It's funny you mention DonM, as I was thinking the same thing.

Maybe he writes down a really nasty and clever reply, and then just doesn't post it.

We'll never cure Fran of his "Rolanditus"...only one that can wreck that would be Roland itself.

Nothing wrong with being a fanboy...I'm one and proud of it.

It's okay to praise your favorite 'board or manufacturer to the highest, but I don't think it's doing yourself, or your own choices, any favors by taking cheap and tactless potshots at another person's selection or another company's products.

I can't guarantee I'll never do it again, but I'll sure as hell try hard enough not to.
