This discussion prompts me to reveal proposals I've
recently offered to IPC President Denny McGuirk, and
John Riley, V.P. of Professional Development. That
being that the wealth of information in this forum is
truly deserving more wide spread distribution.

I proposed that this forum be offered via e-mail as it
is now, and also offered directly online.  The same
login security features could be implemented in both
cases to avoid SPAM and other unauthorized
submissions.  Online access would open the forum to
anyone who finds it difficult to keep up with the
sometimes overwhelming flow of questions and answers
now distributed only via e-mail. (I use an alternate
Yahoo e-mail address just for TechNet to keep my main
e-mail open.)  While some TechNetters would likely
drop themselves from the e-mail list, I believe that
postings directly from online subscribers would more
than even out the activity keeping this forum vibrant.

I further offered to completely underwrite the cost to
offer this forum online if offered the opportunity to
also distribute the forum through our web site.  In
deed, why not let any industry supportive business
distribute this forum through their web site.  We
consider the content in this forum to be so valuable
that we are building our own searchable database that
points to archived pages at the IPC web site.  See
http://www.circuitnet.com/forums/forums_index.htm.

I look forward to your comments.
