None, which is why I'm one who's in agreement that we get back on
topic... politics quickly becomes boring, SDIY remains interesting. :-)

After all this discussion of SMD technology, although it greatly
annoys me, I'm afraid to admit that I may give it a try, if only to
learn how to make use of some SMD components such as chips that I can
salvage from other things, which I can try mounting on small circuit
boards that can be connected to other boards via through-hole wiring.
I'm not saying that I'll prefer SMD, however, although perhaps for
occasional usage, there may be some benefits if it means saving a few
dollars on parts that I already have somewhere that can be salvaged,
although I prefer to not buy any new SMD components, and want to
support the manufacturers and suppliers who are still manufacturing
and selling through-hole components.

Thanks for the reminder to get back on topic.

Take care,

Robert
