Ok, I've been lurking on this one. Since idle hands wind up filling out
forms at the unemployment office I have volunteered to take on some projects
outside my normal scope of responsibility. (Darn that ol' mortgage payment.)
Aside from maintaining our website, helping with trade show logistics, and
LAN support, I have a project to publish suppliers recommended layouts for
all our parts. From what I'm hearing most of you would throw away my
recommendation and start over again. I had great plans to milk this with
test PCB's, sample runs, and a stunning excel report to illustrate the
results to management.

Here are my questions,
Assume that IPC doesn't have and never will have a standards for my product.
(We don't account for a rounding error in the percentage of active
components supplied to the electronics industry).
What supporting evidence would convince you to use my recommendations?
If I supplied the patterns in electronic format would you be more likely to
use them? Hopefully you like this one 'cause then I get to figure out how to
set up and FTP site to down-load files.

P.S.: I heard rumors there are seasons other than winter, any truth to that?
