Homebrew PCBs

My apologies to the Homebrew PCB membership. Seems Dave has an axe to 
grind and has decided to do so publicly. Here's my public response...

Dave,

Thank you for sharing. My DIY-CNC list was started the last week of 
2003. There are now over 1000 members. About 300 people joined the 
first week. So someone likes the way I'm running it...

I have deleted some of your posts, because just like here, you seem 
to feel the need to moderate lists you don't own... NOT because of 
their topic.) Part of the reason the DIY-CNC list has grown so 
quickly is the fallout we receive from folks frustrated by the 
draconian moderation of CCED. But you know that, as you're the 
primary moderator there these days...)

Please refrain from speculation as to my intentions. You can simply 
ask, or read my very clearly stated aims, which are found in my posts.

Please stop moderating "other" peoples groups.

P.S. If you prefer to talk to mechanical engineers about what 
electrical engineers/hobbyists want or need, that's your prerogative. 
In my many years of product design; I've learned to ask the 
CUSTOMERS. And then LISTEN to what they say. Ivory tower design 
rarely succeeds.

like the members on here are much more intereted in buying a unit 
whereas people on CNC-PCB_Design are there to build one.  Absolutly 
no customers there at all.
