My point was the Paul likes to state his opinions on matters such as<BR>
this as if they were objective facts.<BR>
He's unable to accept any other point of view may be valid, and takes<BR>
the rather childish approach of implying that not over-engineering<BR>
everything you do amounts to taking the extreme opposite view, Uber-DIY<BR>
etc, which is apparently a pointless waste of time.<BR>
For an analogue circuit designer, he seems to have a digital world view.<BR>
There's right, or wrong, and nothing in between.<BR>
Paul is perfectly entitled to this point of view. But his right to his<BR>
own opinion is balanced by the right of others to disagree, and<BR>
ultimately, there is no 'correct' way to do anything.<BR>

Hey Colin. I think it's great that manufacturers contribute to this list! Paul offered his opinions in on this topic in order to be helpful. If you happen to disagree that's fine, but what's the point of all the name calling above? I mean, what could be more "childish" than that? <BR>
