As a long time lurker on this list (five years) I absolutely agree with sentiments of Austin, George Patrick and the significant majority of all the other posters on this topic: if it ain't broke, don't fix it. It seems that the best solution being offered by the proponents of this Cadence sponsored alternative forum to the grievances that most posters have made, is to make CDNUsers operate more like the Freelists email exploder - when the site developers figure out how... The point has already been made that this forum receives more posts in an average week than CDNUsers has received in its entire existence. Another point that has already been made but IMO is worth repeating: Wouldn't it be so much easier if the Cadence website just had a link to Freelists? My two pence worth - yes I am an international user who managed to find Freelists and who doesn't use the US date format (not an issue with Outlook ;-) Regards N.J.Hodder -----Original Message----- From: icu-pcb-forum-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:icu-pcb-forum-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of austin@xxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: 09 March 2006 12:34 To: icu-pcb-forum@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [PCB_FORUM] Re: New www.cdnusers.org forum - suggestions (was -Re: Don't shut this blah blah Hi Richard, > First, please read my posting about "resistance to change". It is human nature to resist change, but change in and of it self is not necessarily good, or bad. From what I can tell, this is not a change that is solving any issues/problem with this list, so I see no rational reason for changing. It appears that this change was made to satisfy an agenda which is not necessarily coincident with the members of this list.
