WHAT THE TechNet FORUM OFFERS
-----------------------------
This peer networking forum can be used to ask others for
technical help, comments or questions on IPC specifications,
or other technical inquiries. IPC will also use TechNet
to announce meetings, important technical issues, surveys,
etc. As a general networking forum, any technical question
is fair game.
We suggest that discussion of pricing is not appropriate
for TechNet. Requests for recommendations of products or
suppliers are appropriate when responses are sent to the
individual requesting the information only and not to the
entire TechNet forum.
If you ever want to remove yourself from this forum, send
an e-mail message as follows:

Q: What if I stop getting e-mail messages from the forum?
A: If your e-mail gateway or SMTP server has temporary access
or configuration problems, mail sent to you will bounce
back to IPC with error messages. Too many bounces will cause
your address to be removed from the distribution list. We
will be glad to help your postmaster identify the problem and
reinstate you as a subscriber. Call Dmitriy Sklyar
at 847/509-9700 x311 for further information.
ABOUT SUBMITTING AND RECEIVING E-MAIL . . .
Q: What is an e-mail submission?
A: An e-mail submission is a message sent to the forum
for automated distribution to all subscribers.
Q: Is the e-mail address for submissions the same one I used
for subscribing?
A: No. Subscribe and unsubscribe requests are sent to:
<forum>[log in to unmask]
E-Mail submissions to the forum are sent to:
<forum>@ipc.org
Q: Should I submit answers to questions to the individual who
asked the question, or to the entire forum?
A: IPC forum participants voted overwhelmingly to send answers
to the entire forum so that the information flow and multiple
viewpoints reach as many participants as possible.
If the nature of the question or your answer warrants a private
response, feel free to send a direct e-mail response or to phone
the question submitter if they have supplied a telephone number.
Q: Are there any guidelines for formulating a response?
We wish as many people as possible to participate and respond to the
various questions. Please remember that many forum members must pay
charges to their service provider for information received over the
Internet. Try to keep your answers brief and to the point. Provide
reference sources when possible.
Questions and answers signed with the individual's name, company,
phone number and e-mail address will facilitate follow-up
communications.
Q: How can I deal with all of this mail!!?
A: Participants are asked to fill in the 'Subject:' field
of their submission carefully so that recipients can scan
new e-mail quickly, filtering out messages that are not
of interest. The subject line of submissions to TechNet should
begin with:
FAB: Fabrication
ASSY: Assembly
DES: Design
ADMIN: Administration (mail lists)
GEN: General (job posting etc.)
Q: What if somebody answers a question and I don't agree?
A: Disagreements are welcome. All participants should share
their opinion with the forum in a courteous manner.
Please note that the answers provided are solely the product
of the individual(s) responding to the questions. IPC cannot
be responsible for nor can IPC assume any liability for or
arising from the provision or implementation of information
shared via this forum.
Q: Are there questions inappropriate to these on-line forums?
These forums are designed to solicit a free flow of technical
information related to our industry. As such, all industry
related questions are welcome. By the same token it is not
appropriate to ask... "I am new to the Internet and would like
some information on how to use my computer?"... or similar
questions. It is also impolite to "Flame" someone for their
inexperience.
Q: Can I advertise my services on the forum?
A: IPC's forums are provided as a platform for the exchange
of technical information. We request that advertising (or its
equivalent) not be submitted.
