Wow Steve,
too much coffee or what? Maybe it's the "Gregory" thing, I get the same way. Hardeeharhar.

Okay, I know I'm going to piss some people off...I'll test components from
AVX, Murata Erie, Kemet, Vishay, Texas Instruments, Amkor, Signetics,
National Semiconductor, Fairchild, Motorola,  etc...etc...and then I'll find
that everything is okay... DO YOU THINK THIS IS NECESSARY? BE REAL!!!!

Don't you think that solderability is foremost in the vendors of these
components? Do you ACTUALLY think that we have to double-check what they say
they are going to provide to us? That we have to check everything they
provide to us?

I'd like to hear from component manufacturers...do we need to check your
stuff? If we do, I would be ashamed....
