Hi all,
Noting that this list runs over with such rich diversity of skills,
ideas and insights.
Alas, though, this is somewhat of a downfall when a thread goes off on a
tangent into a whole new topic, which tends to inflict some opacity on
the list when trying to use it as a knowledge base.
May I humbly suggest that people, when replying to a thread post and
taking it off its original topic, start a whole new thread with an
updated subject line?
I notice that some people are considerately changing the subject line
sometimes - this is good, but the replies end up in the old thread, so
end up getting buried in the thread tree under a completely unrelated
subject heading.
I'd like to suggest a simple method I'm sure many will appreciate:
1. open a new message compose window, not a reply window
2. set 'to' address to
Homebrew_PCBs@yahoogroups.com, and 'subject'
to whatever
3. click 'reply' on the post you wish to reply to
4. copg across the needed text from the 'reply' window to
the 'new message' window
5. close the 'reply' window
6. type in whatever, into the 'new message' window
7. send
Sounds complicated, but it's only 5-10 seconds extra work, and it will
mitigate the entropy on this list and make it more useful for all.
