Homebrew PCBs

Jan, worry not, I very much enjoy a good sense of humor!

As I am completely new to electronics and circuit board making etc., 
I have a very open mind to consider anything and everything.  Some 
how a number of years back, I learned that one MUST ASK about 
everything,no matter how trivial.  In this case, I think it is 
pretty obvious I am looking for an alternative method of making 
circuit boards.  Nearly all, if not all, of the current processes 
are subtractive processes, I am just looking at it from a different 
point of view such as an additive process.

But, PLEASE, keep up the humor, it is a whole lot more fun 
investigating this sort of thing when we can share some grins!

Chris
