I agree.  the CCED list is GREAT for lots of stuff, but pcb guys are 
lost in the sea of technical stuff over there.

I hope machine design does not get lost over here or dominate the 
list.

I did create a new list, pending the decisons of this list.

my first post there contains;

"PCB people have typically taken a pragmatic approach to making PCB 
Board, chemical etching to get the copper layers as needed.
But find it a PITA to drill all those holes.
CNC people find buying the drivers easier than designing and making 
circuit boards so are not often as interested in PCB making.


*IF* CNC and machine design if too OT then I'll announce the other 
group.
