... hope I don't end up with a scarlet letter attached to my name.

A couple months ago a seller put an essentially identical VST setup that was 
new, up for auction, referenced Alan's excellent macro site, and offended a 
number of members by "borrowing" Alan's pictures. I personally thought it 
was nice that he gave Alan's superb site some publicity and considered it 
poor that he didn't ask if he could use the pictures but since it was clear 
where they came from I didn't consider the behavior offensive, just a bad 
judgement call.

Since I was intending on sniping, when yabe shut down the auction, I was 
frustrated for about two minutes. An email or two and $29.95 plus shipping 
got the brand new VST safely secured in my treasure stash.

Alan's site is at
