Digest?

[Phil Macnutt]

I am new to both diy and to AH, and I have to agree with Andrew.  I was
subscribed to AH, but had to stop because I was spending my entire day
deleting messages.  I think AH is great, I just can't handle the bandwidth.
So far, I find the diy messages interesting and managable.

I sure hope that diy stays low-noise.  Sometimes less is better...

p.s.  Regarding the thread on front panels, I have trying to think of a way
to produce nice panels myself.  I have worked with anodizing shops before,
and I have found them to be very expensive, and not geared toward small
orders.

Has anyone had success working with these type shops?
