I have actually read the "spam", and found it quite interesting.
It says they can use cheap (phenolic) board, so hole quality seems not a  
big issue.

It is always VERY VALUABLE and HIGHLY INTERESTING to know of commercial  
examples, because it tells you something can be done, for sure.
If you have the means to do it is another story, but it is very nice to  
know it is at all possible in a reliable manner.

Thanks for spamming to the list, hehe ;-)

Man i wish someone would fight the tons of real spam instead i get each  
day...
