No, it is simply more experienced people who have been there pointing out  
the disadvatages.
You can make a PCB with some blank board, and a sharp knife. That's about  
as basic as it gets.
However, a minium effort must be put in to get basic quality (or in other  
words a board that is at least similar to the layout you had in mind and  
has no errors like shorts and gaps).

Nobody here discourages the most basic discussion about PCB making (and  
you have the archives to come up with an example.). If i see a flaw with a  
method i will say so, that's what a list is for after all to get help from  
people who have tried it. A wholly aggrable listmember that only ever says  
"great idea, do it" isn't very useful at all.

The listowner sees that similar, as you see he only steps in if a  
discussion gets too much off topic, and does never diccourage any PCB  
discussion now matter how basic the method.

I really don't know what your problem with my posts is. I ask you to  
please come up with an example, and then we will work on doing something  
about it. But if you can't do that please stop saying things about me that  
aren't correct.
