"I expected it to be self-explanatory."
See, that was your first mistake, people like me need big banners. :D
Bright neons with arrows help. Seriously, it's common for people to either
forget attachments, or forget to include a comment with a URL. Look at my

distribution list, d'uh...
"The intent of the mail was to illustrate there are commercial vendors using
this technique thus it is viable."
I know manufacturers use this, the question is can we get access to the same
supplies at a reasonable cost.
"If you notice the name of this group, it is unlikely to get any commercial
attention from a group of folks trying to fabricate PCBs at home."
You'd be surprised how many forums I'm in and how many people keep throwing
in URLs without any comments. Spam pays, the financial forums are the worst

Machine-made holes and DIY-made holes are not exactly the same quality.
Their inks are not necessarily the same viscosity nor have the same metallic
composition. I prefer to follow the recommendations of someone that used a
similar ink that I will be using, and drills the holes in a similar fashion;
dremel-type on a small press usually. I'm not saying their way is no good,
I'm saying DIY-people don't always have the quality of supplies and
equipment required.
"And you're welcome."
Any time. :)
