Hey Hans, come on.....it's not meant as a flame !  It's just a little
remark in the sense of describing
a little aspect of the wonderful world of soundediting ! It refers a little
to my own life, wich feels
like being a musical dropout. Laugh ! Isn't everything a joke ? ;-)))

Anyway, please explain why such remarks could make people feel offended
or....even humiliated perhaps ?

I won't do it again if the subscribers really don't like it.

I'll try that !

"Aha" Erlebnis !  So the ZAK system functions as a sort of virtual mixing
desk  like those impressive
 knob-led-and-slider-overloaded array like hardware version in
musicstudio's ??

One ZAK line is like a one channel on a mixing desk through wich the data
can flow ?

Hmm...was that remark really that bad ?? Tell me more about it.
Isn't there any sense for humor in this list ? Do certain "over-serious"
people could feel harmed ?

I already apologized to David, but before the rest of the list thinks I'm
too much of an ornery cuss I better say I'm sorry.  I took it the wrong
way.  I didn't realize David meant sonic dropout in a good way.  I always
considered Csound as sonic cutting edge or something, and the people doing
Pop-40 as sonic drop outs.  I guess was just having a bad hair day.

Jovially,
