I agree with this poster's comments. I have spent 10 seconds reading the
original question and 4 minutes reading all the flaming and commentary about
it.
If you don't want to contribute on this list to the development of lesser
experienced engineers, that is your prerogative. However if you are a member
of the IEEE, you have attested to the code of ethics which can be found at
http://www.ieee.org/portal/index.jsp?pageID=corp_level1&path=about/whatis&fil
ðo J$XÖÿ¿?Ñ@D×ÿ¿??e=code.xml&xsl=generic.xsl[1] and which reads in
part:
"We ... agree:
"5. to improve the understanding of technology, its appropriate application,
and potential consequences;"
"10. to assist colleagues and co-workers in their professional development
and to support them in following this code of ethics."
If a posting is clearly off topic, it is appropriate for the moderator to
refer the poster to the FAQs for the list. My advice to those of you who
feel you are above answering such questions is to learn to be more tolerant
of others and if you don't want to assist the poster, delete their message
from your folder and move on. You will have more time to dwell on your own
ego, and the rest of the world will be a better place.

I am a bit surprised at the tone taken when someone of lesser
experience in a particular area asks a valid question that seems to be well
within the scope of this list. I just went to the http://www.si-list.org/[3]
and read the following:
"si-list currently has over 3500 subscribers from around the world. The
members range from experts in the field in both industry and academia to
students and others interested in learning about the subject."
And
"...Now almost 11 years later we have about 3500 subscribers to si-list.
Theyrange from students just getting their feet wet in engineering to world
renown experts in the field. They hail from both industry and academia in
just about every country in the world that is involved in signal integrity
related endeavors."
And
"The original precept for si-list was to provide a forum for the exchange of
technical conversation related to Signal Integrity and related fields. Over
the years we have endeavored to keep the majority of the list traffic on the
technical level and to discourage the use of the forum for advertising and
head-hunting. To that end I think we have been remarkably successful."
Can someone explain to me, maybe the list administrator, why a
technical question such as the one posed is not the level of topic that
should be posted on the si-list? Responses such as I have just seen tells
the up-and-coming SI engineers to take a back seat and leave the questions
posed on this list to the professionals.
Thx,
