Hey SI-Pals !! Here's an observation: I guess I've been a member of this list for a couple of years now and consider myself a newbie in the world of SI. I stumbled upon this list and subscribed, I found the discussions very interesting and informative. It is of great use to hear both sides of the story when it comes to areas that there is a fine line between right and wrong. So anyways --- I'll get to the point---- I've been noticing allot of "unsubscribe" emails coming into the list. Why? I have noticed a change in allot of postings that are not technically related to SI, which are bringing in allot of personal feelings and/or subjects not related to the purpose of this List which is the better understanding of "Signal Integrity" for "ALL" not matter who,what,where,& EXPERIENCE. Besides non-related SI subjects, I sense a lot of manipulation of postings thru name calling or bullying which often ceases a good issue that provides input from both sides of the spectrum. Can we all just step back and remind ourselves the purpose of this list ------- Better understanding, and others helpful knowledge of Signal Integrity! I don't think this List was started for some people to push a subject & to inform everyone else on the list how much smarter they are than another poster. I'd like to hear from all, and based upon the information provided, form my own opinion, not by someone who is dead set in their ways! Lets get Professional, and as Ray A stated before, there are other newsgroups for such things --- ! Preaching done --- no replies needed :-) ------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from si-list: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field or to administer your membership from a web page, go to: //www.freelists.org/webpage/si-list For help: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field List technical documents are available at: http:/www.si-list.org List archives are viewable at: //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list or at our remote archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list/messages Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu
