Dear BEBOP,

I just received an email from you requesting me and all members of the forum to contact Alec to join the forum. By your earlier emails to all and to him, telling us of the new forum, Alec is quite aware of Synth Zone. Surely, you must realize that Alec has strong ties and loyalty to TECHNOTE, i.e., articles he has written and their recommending his "How to" book. To ask all members to write to him asking in essence to break his loyalty and "come over to the other side" is wrong. We all appreciate your time and energy in playing a major part of developing our new home, but you have stepped over the line on this matter. You have put him in a position that he is damned, if he does (by TECHNOTE) and damned if he doesn't, by the members of the new forum. You should have thought more clearly on this. It should be his decision ALONE to join and not be put on a spot as you have now done. If he really wants to join this forum, he will. Let HIM make his own decision. Let us not make it for him.

Scott
