It would seem that some have taken offense to my comments, which were only
intended to mean that we really do want good info ,not that we werent
getting it.

A couple of years ago, the TechNet was a fairly new thing.
The subscribers
would ask questions, some of us with a bit of time on their
hands or the
willingness to stay until 7 PM would answer questions we
found interesting.
The popularity of the whole mail list increased, the number
and range of
questions, and the number of responses. Some of this may
take the form of
"noise" if one chooses to be critical.
Someone at IPC arbitrarily picked about five frequent
TechNet posters,
asked us if we would participate in a panel discussion at
the IPC
conference in Naples, Florida, and we were called
"Legends".
Speaking personally, I disclaim "legendary" status, and I
believe those
other speakers to be more qualified than I; but:
My advice and answers here are unaffected by commercial
motivations. Most
of them are correct, and based on production experience in
the industry
over twenty years. I have never been in sales. I think that
the other
"legends" can make the very same claims.
The information which can be found in free postings here is
more extensive,
timely, and valuable than that which was (or will be)
presented in any
panel discussion, but is NOT intended (at least from me) to
move the entire
industry or establish any long range trends. But you will
have to accept
some dross with the pure alloy, I'm afraid. You must make
your own
decisions about whose advice is good, there is no
moderation
here.
The IPC people who dreamed this up this "TechNet Legend"
stuff for the
conference chose at least passably well, and if they do it
again, you will
get straight answers to your questions, which is all that
should be
expected.
