Seem to recall sending something like this myself once.....
Indeed the OT stuff can contain real jewels... like the general discussions
of fabrication of PCB's and labels and SMT procedures.
AND the help is fantastic--So add my thanks, Again to ALL.
Point on the subject line is well taken--Makes it much easier to sort
through the incoming. Once the original focus of the thread is lost,
perhaps a simple change to the subject line......
my .01 cents.
