Thank you very much Mike!

I get this feeling I’m being notoriously _bad_ at feeding back on this
list... There seem to be a thin line between taking peoples time and
pointing out relevant issues. In this case, "ubuntustudio-controls" seemed
very much like a ubuntu_studio_ issue. For example, a latency issue, i
think i would have addressed the JACK guys or FFADO, as a consequence of my
previous experiences. Misunderstand me right: I’m not blaming anyone, or
complaining about the quality of support or anything negative like that.. I
understand you guys with experience and a lot of savoir-faire do this for
the passion and freedom. My point being that i find it difficult to decide
how and where to get assistance.

Documentation would be a good spot for an ignorant savant like me (no i'm
not mugging myself i'm realistic), but i am sure you have noticed my
dyslexia. I would be a burden more than anything.

Perhaps i should work on an "infrastructure to assist users in where and
how to help" :)

I guess i have to meditate on it.

However i would like to conclude this pseudo-rant by pointing out my
gratitude for the link to the article on how to contribute. I've been
struggling with this egoistic feeling that i take without giving back. It's
a relief to know that "spreading the word" is appreciated. That is
something i think i can comfortably say i'm good at. I will join the
marketing list as of today.

Yours respectfully,

*Set
