I have to agree that once a topic starts, and unless it would get 
more play elsewhere, it should stay on the list.

I was only agreeing with another member that the topic would fall 
more under the build a machine list.  That member recognised that 
designing a paste machine and writing software was pretty far afield 
for this list.

The thread was discussing 
- how to write the software
- how to engineer the paste mechanism
- how to write the G-code

These are pretty far off how to make a pcb as you entered assembling 
boards and machine design.  But for those who are both mechanically 
inclined and want to make a board, it is a good topic.

Pic and place would be another topic and if this list gets a lot of 
play on that topic, I would bet yet another list gets created.
