-> I could probably help you, Keith.  But it's not very likely I will!

I doubt that, somehow.

-> The usual way to get matched components is to buy a lot of them and test

-> If they're opposites (like matched PNP/NPN transistors for a push/pull
-> amp), it's trickier but pretty much the same game.
->
-> If you're trying to match thermal characteristics, it can get especially
-> tricky.

-> Depending on the components and the precision you require, you'll usually
-> either need specialized test equipment or excellent standard tools plus
-> lots of ingenuity to do a good job of component matching. People with
-> such skills don't come cheap, and precious few of them are stupid enough
-> to play your kind of games, Henson.

Keith happens to be one of the people with such skills, whip. Try looking up
his patents sometime.  It's rather funny watching you try to be pedantic with
him.  

-> Chances are, you'll have to pay full price.  Which may not be an option, I
-> presume, since all your spare cash is going to payments on the 75 grand,
-> right?

Sure.  Right after your nut-cult pays Larry Wollersheim.

-> Personally, I'd charge you triple, by the minute, and with an ironclad
-> requirement for matching funds to your richly-deserved copyright judgment.

What skills could you possibly have that Keith would want to pay *you* for?
