TechNet Subscribers, As a supplier to the circuit manufacturing industry, I'm getting very concerned about some of the new TechNet subscribers that are using the service as a marketing tool, to generate customer leads from the posted questions, instead of its intended techical support use. Back a year ago or so, I got "flamed" (and correctly so) for sending out an answer to a question "Yes, this can be done. Call me at.....". Yet today this seems to happening more and more often. For my self, and others such as Rudy w/ RD Chemical, or Larry w/ Dexter, we try to be informative over TechNet by answering the question instead of diverting the TechNet'er away from the forum to a one-on one. For those of us who are suppliers to the industry it is important that we have enough integrity and restraint to keep ourselves from using the TechNet as a source of customer gathering and instead use as it way intended, as a place for technical exchange. For those of you who are manufactures/designers, I would invite you to continue "flaming" us suppliers if we get out of line in the future. Have a Great day.
