The Moog Unit - 1Mg

Now this is interesting. Someone proposed formalizing the 1 volt per octave standard Bob Moog invented as the Moog Unit, represented by the symbol Mg. John Mahoney put it on Wikipedia. It was taken down but then put back up by Mike Kent. Click through to see if it is still there. Why not? This came through on AH and people seem to like it. John Mahoney sent the email on the Wikipedia link, but only said *someone* came up with it. I'm trying to find out who as this would be a pretty cool and significant bit of synth history don't you think? Even if it doesn't go through. It will be interesting to see how this pans out.
