Ok, now for something a little different...

The people who subscribe to this list have different levels of experience
with Allegro and PCB design in general.  For those who are relatively new to
Allegro and PCB design, this list is extremely valuable.  For those of us
who have been using Allegro and designing PCBs for many years, the list is
not as valuable.

We typically give help more than we receive it.  If it is too much trouble
to monitor the threads, we probably will not bother.  I typically don't seek
out the forum for answers.  When I'm checking my e-mail and see someone with
a problem that I know the solution to, I'll respond if no one else has
(since it's very easy).  I almost definitely will not look at the new web
site just to see if there are any threads that I could contribute to.

Do you see my point?  I believe that the e-mail forum is the best that it
can get for help from the user community.

This is not a benefit.  You get MUCH better and faster support from the 
everyday people on this
list than you do from Cadence !!!
