I agree with everything you are all saying, and I also heartily agree that the forum's sole purpose is the exchange of opinions as well as ideas. In order for the forum to be effective, if someone has an opinion or an idea, they must feel free to share it. But don't criticize those who do, either because you have no interest in the topic, or don't like what was said. Jason Gregory used the forum to instigate discussion today. Some criticized the topic, others criticized his opinions. But guess what? He got more people discussing other aspects of the lead-free impact that many others had not thought of. We don't need the negative stuff, such as people telling others to go have a glass of water or decaf. They should simply respond with their opinions. My hat is off to Jason. Hope you sign back on, Jason. --------------------------------------------------- Technet Mail List provided as a service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8e To unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the BODY (NOT the subject field): SIGNOFF Technet To temporarily halt or (re-start) delivery of Technet send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet NOMAIL or (MAIL) To receive ONE mailing per day of all the posts: send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet Digest Search the archives of previous posts at: http://listserv.ipc.org/archives Please visit IPC web site http://www.ipc.org/contentpage.asp?Pageid=4.3.16 for additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask] or 847-615-7100 ext.2815 -----------------------------------------------------
