Si-listers:

The ongoing thread of discussion about traces causing or not causing EMI 
has fostered
some interesting technical discussion over the past week. However it 
seems that the
discussion has begun to spiral out of control and is degenerating into 
what can be
interpreted as personal attacks on the part of some participants.

Si-list has, for the most part, been a great example of how a group of 
3500+ technical
professionals from a diverse set of backgrounds can interact and 
exchange ideas and
information relative to their areas of expertise. When personal attacks 
creep into the
message threads that impune other's opinions and tend towards 
disrespect, the general
tone of the entire reflector suffers.

I would ask those amongst us who have been a little overzealous with 
their comments
and accusations to please limit their comments to technical issues and 
to refrain from
further inflammatory postings.

Hopefully  this gentle reminder will get things back on track. Apologies 
to those
subscribers who have been offended by some of the interchanges.

Let the technical discussions resume :)
