Well, I am not out to prove anything or criticize anyone, but
from my point of view I asked a question about resin to glass
ratio and you flamed me in front of 1300+ people because I
turned down your book buying offer. I still haven't gotten an
answer, although its not too important because I don't specify
board stackups. I was only asking because I'm naturally curious
and I am "new" to that subject.

The 1300+ subscribers here are from all areas of this industry,
have differing job responsibilities and various levels of skill
and knowledge. In my opinion if casual questions are going to
be continually referred to appropriate chapters and tables in
your book, then this forum is not being used the way it was
intended.

Thank you for the offer of recieving a copy free of charge, but
I already have mountains of material here that I never seem to
get enough time to study.

Even so,  I wish you great success,  and admire your
determination to improve our world.

fare well (literally!),
Jack

Hell Jack,

My stuff is of the simplest kind. There are people out there with much more
knowledge and experience concerning PCB's but they haven't compiled it the
way I have. My BOOK just doesn't get simpler and you, I must think, are
capable of understanding the simple, basic stuff I put forth.

Because you are so new, I'll give you the damn book. I would only suggest,
being in your vital position as a designer (I mean that sincerely), you
learn whatever you can from whomever you can and not having my book will
set
you back a bit but, in the grand scheme of things, maybe not too much.

Yes I talk about the book and will continue doing so but for, I hope, good
reasons as I'm now answering about ten times more emails than even a month
ago. I'm just trying to promote process improvement through DFM/CE. If you
want me to cease and desist, and others feel the same, I will do so.

This whole thing and this incredible forum is about PCB's - period. That's
all I'm about simple or not and good or bad, or not.
