If you went to EXPO and saw how much smaller the exhibit area was, or get
the fabrication shop auction publications, or have friends calling you
looking for work, you would know that at least the fabrication portion of
the industry has been declining for several years.  If you look at the 90's
on the TechNet and the legends of the TechNet like Dave Hoover (aka I think
"groovy") you do not see posts from them much anymore.  Many had their
company disappear and perhaps that is also why the list the list may be
shorter. I think my observation is most of the current TechNet relates to
assembly now, when it started it had a lot of fabrication content as well as
assembly. It would be interesting to know how many of the TechNet had to
seek new jobs in the last 5 years, I know I am one of them.

Just my thoughts;
