[Ray Anderson <reanderson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you for the kind words.

As Professor Schutt-Aine mentioned, the list began 10 years ago after we 
passed a sheet of paper around the classroom of a signal integrity short 
course being co-taught by Professors Jose Schutt-Aine, Raj Mittra and 
Paul Franzon. Initially there were about 30 names in the subscriber 
database which has grown beyond any expectations we had at the time to a 
current total of around 3800 participants.

Without the active participation of all members of the signal integrity 
community, both acknowledged experts in the field as well as beginners, 
the list would not have grown as it has over the years to become a 
useful and viable signal integrity resource to share knowledge and 
discuss SI related issues.

In the past 2 decades the practice of signal integrity  has grown from 
almost an afterthought in the design process to a mainstream discipline 
that is understood to be a most important consideration in high-speed 
designs. I'd like to think that si-list may have played at least a small 
role in bringing signal integrity issues into the mainstream.

Thanks to all si-list members present and past who have contributed to 
the success of si-list.
