Sidney, I was just pointing out that your way of addressing Dieter Doepfer
was not polite. Being polite is obviously not a requirement; you can address
him any way you like.



It's just that in an online forum specifically dedicated to Doepfer products
one would expect participants to at least know whom they are talking to.



As for respect, in this forum I'll respect plenty of people. Attitude
without substance will not impress me though.

York, you have been extremely rude in the way you are trying to show your
'Yes Sir, No Sir' etiquette rules.

As it is stated, "This group is about sharing tips,opinions and general
knowledge about the A100 modular synthesizer", and people come seeking this
from all over the world.

So try to be kind next time you show your arrogance from wathever country or
culture you are, because you know that this kind of attitude leads to
nowhere.

Neither you are officially speaking in the name of anyone in this group.
Show some respect.

Sidney.
