John,
I could see the shock. The board house should have caught that with drill
holes in the middle of nothing. Go figure.
It's nice to have a large copper surface for heat dissipation.
See if you had let me make your boards you wouldn't have had that problem:)
I always talk to my customers.

Hi Derek,
I got a real shock with this! I was milling circuit
boards and selling them. I decided to have a circuit board
house make the boards. Besides none of them answering my Emails,
I realized I used the copper left around the traces for the
ground. This is the same method I used years ago when I used to
draw my traces on the board. I learned the more copper I left on
the board the better the acid would work. Now this looks like my
method has come back to bit me in the butt!
