Hi Graham - two comments: (1) I sent a email to the Assembly editorial 
staff informing them that they had just lost a reader due to their lack of 
"statement accuracy confirmation"; (2) the number of inaccuracies and 
misinformation contained in the blog is so horrendous that it is beyond 
words. Lots of very hard working folks on the IPC committees do their very 
best to use data driven information for the specifications - Dr. Smith's 
article is a disservice to their efforts. There is nothing wrong with 
folks having different opinions and disagreements - but Dr. Smith's blog 
goes across a line.

All I can say is "wow".  Well, I could go on for hours, but...  wow.
Not quite how I see these specs!  Working on military stuff I can attest
that changing from MIL-STD-2000 to the IPC specs was a significant
improvement in reality, reliability, and productivity, but that's not
how he sees it.

regards,
