Aw too bad, did he discover a 'new' way of modding without knowing others who had already done it? That's still really cool imo.
Yeah, unfortunately coming in with the idea that you're a trail blazer rather than "Hey, has anyone done this before?" tends to come off pretty badly. I remember throwing myself out of bed to make notes when I realised you could do true stereo on LSDJ. Of course people had done it before, but it's cool to come up with something yourself.
