        I am primarily a lurker and find much of the information posted on this 
list very useful.  I am also subscribed to many other lists where my background 
allows me to be more interactive.  

        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/ 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. They 
range 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,

I couldn't agree with Ed more.  I don't have time to read through dozens of 
posting by lazy college students while waiting for a rare legitimate posting.  
It may only take less than a minute to be interrupted, read enough to 
understand that the posting is from someone too LAZY TO READ THE HSPICE USER'S 
MANUAL, then pick up the previous thread.  But, multiply that 1 minute by 
everyone on this list, and it adds up to a large amount of wasted time. 

 

Participants posting question easily answered with a trivial amount of 
self-initiative  should be blocked from using the list.

Hi all,

I think ..this is enough...

I would say that no one should believe to have the right to decide what should 
and what should'nt post in this list that I suppose to a pubblic and free 
list...

If one do not consider a question important why loose time just top answer that 
the question is not important...

Siva:

Please put these kind of questions to your HSPICE FAE. This is not the 

level of topic that should be posted in the si-list.
