I understand your points, and notice I only said something when it
came up. This is "my" list only in that I started it and guide it, but
without members I'd be here by myself.

My original intention was to bring together all the separated
discussions about making PCBs that I saw on other lists. Usually
someone on one list would have the answer to someone's question on
another list, and never the twain would meet.

So if I don't mention something specifically, it does -not- mean that
it is not allowed.

An excerpt from the homepage:

********************
Making, etching, soldering printed circuit boards yourself.

Any method allowed by law and local custom including photo, CAM, toner
transfer, direct printing, plotter, laundry pen, silkscreening,
toaster oven, paint stripper heat gun, etc.
********************

So if you -want- to take some of the discussion to another list, if
you -want- to start a list dedicated to CNC_PCB, I understand as it is
a big subject. But don't feel like you -have- to.
