[SI-LIST] Re: placement of decoupling caps (again)

UMR did a paper in 1995 that determined location is not important as long
as you don't cut up the power planes.  Others have repeated those same
tests, as have I,  and come up with the same answers.

The proponents of location matters need to do some testing to show that
their position is valid.
