There is in genereal nothing I have against such a list and I of
course apreciate your effort. However, I'm not sure if it's really
needed or such a happy decision. Remember, the topic IS PCB related
and many people udoublty will start reading here - and be glad that
this part can be covered here also, sneaking in messages at the point
in time they are not that far yet, thereby hearing this and that to
make up their mind later on. So if we have another list, it either
would make sense to anounce it here every now or then, or we then
better leave it. Personally I think though it would be better to have
these topics coverd here also. Again, I will be happy to join if the
majority here (or more specifically Steve) sees this different.
