Thanks for your very direct honesty without being condescending, harsh, or trite plughead...I can certainly respect that. Thanks also Michael M and butt trumpet for adding some comedy to this matter without feeling obligated to take a turn giving me a good thrashing! Michael M, I know that you're a VERY sharp guy...who also obviously has a lot of class to boot. I'll end this all right here once and for all, no not by taking my own life...sorry guys, but by saying that I am not a Columbia drop out but am rather a fellow poster who feels that he has something to be proud of and wanted to share his design with his on-line community. I know they say that pride is a crutch for the weak, but it's all I have nonetheless. Instead of wanting to know more about my design and inquiring more about it, if you look at the beginning of this post you'll see that a few people here who I trusted as friends started with the "this must be a scam" stuff. Through this post, a few have actually contacted me about buying mics because they liked the way I handled myself here. Regardless, it's not the way I typically like to do business for the record. You know where to find me if you want anymore info. Sincerely...strdsk
