[sdiy] Opinion poll - Through Hole ~vs~ SMT

[Dave Kendall]

Through hole - partly for eyesight reasons, and also as TH is still 
widely used and available, and many sdiy folks have stocks of parts.

Would have no problem with the odd SMT component on a board though, if 
for example it was nearly unobtanium or expensive in TH.
Boards pre-stuffed with the occasional really fiddly SMT bits would 
make sense too IMO.

cheers,
Dave
