Bob,

I appreciate you input. All I know, after seeing some and fairly extensive
analysis done on the TI parts, including TI, no objective answers were/are
forthcoming. Upon discovering a similar issue, as previously stated, with
another major supplier, I'm at a loss but for surface appearances.

I think JM and a vew others have stated applies. There are teeny weeny, to
go along with my balls, little solder fragments/slivers/spikes, or whatever,
remaining behind on some surface condition not known to man. No raton
cohones aqui but certainly there - at suppliers.

I just sent a response to Big Dan about why things sometimes fall apart in a
recessionary period:

Dan,

It's really simple and I discuss this issue with many folks. The economy is
in a dumper. When it all started going south, management in all its
incredible wisdom always fires the wrong people. They fire workers and
engineeris most closely involved in making quality product. All that's left
are the middle managers who have lost touch with manufacturing operations
but are now expected to manage and get out on the floor once again. Bad
situation not getting better.

STIRRING A REAL BIG POT WITH A TEENY WEENY SPOON. Where's my silver one Kathy?
