No one ever asked anybody to leave this group. I have read wonderful
information on making pcb's here and would not like to leave so I
would not ask anyone else to leave.
Nobody HAS to join up for the program if they dont want to. It is
just another option to learn electronics.
All the posts I see here is for pcb design and not for designing
electronics.
The web/yahoo groups IS fragmented groups, lists, forums and such.
Nothing you can do except make your own site to add to the list.
Spam on my site is being taken care of. I am new to
electronic_prototypes and wanted to make a site for designing
electronics.
Steve, I believe you also did, on Oct 6, 2003 (as stated below, if
this was the only site), what I have just done is no different. You
did say "and encourage general electronic questions go to other more
appropriate lists."
Quoted from electronic_prototypes yahoo group site message #79...
"Hi, hope I'm not stepping over a line...
I'm list owner of a group called Homebrew_PCBs. The list is
specifically about that, I don't allow job notices, and encourage
general electronic questions go to other more appropriate lists.
For some, Homebrew PCBs means everything from writing your own
software and building your own hardware to do every step from CAD/CAM
to through hole plating. Yes, we have several who do their own
through-hole designs, and one who says he's done multilayer boards. To
others it means passing it off to a commercial maker after designing
it on their computer. That range is on topic for the list.
Anyway, you are invited to join if you'd like. Spammers get banned
instantly, other than that I'm a moderate moderator.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Homebrew_PCBsAnd don't forget to check the Links, Files, and Photos sections there.
It's a busy list.
Thanks,
Steve"
V/R,
Brian
