Your response was great and I wholeheartedly agree with you,
(but I can't resist a short comment about your "PB" suggestion.
Is anything "printed" anymore?
How 'bout just calling it a circuit board?)

        You should also use the preferred term "Printed Board (PB)" in
        preferrence to the terms printed circuit boards (PCBs) and printed
        wiring boards (PWBs).  The use of PCBs is confusing, is PCB
        "polychlorniated biphenol", a politically correct review board, a
        personal computer board, or a PB with electrical characteristics.
