Mike,
I gotta stick up for the question and the discussion. This forum is
here to help us perform our various functions. Any question about how to
possibly improve that process seems to me to be a completely legitimate
question. I happen to be in the camp that would not like to see it split and
haven't really felt the need to respond to this point, but that doesn't
lessen the appreciation for the question. I think the number of other
responses would seem to back that up.
Secondly, I don't think that you intended to put a damper on asking
questions, but you first line implies that this was a dumb question and
shouldn't have been asked. I suspect that the people who most benefit most
from these discussions may be the same ones who hate to ask a question that
might be dumb in front of such an august many august body, and I think it
would be a shame to discourage them from doing so. (Maybe because I so often
ask exactly those questions or start so many fires).
If the question or discussion is germane to the various job
responsibilities of our members I believe it benefits us all either because
it reinforces something we may already know or it gives us new insight into
a problem.
Sorry if I seem a little territorial here but I really don't want to
see anyone back away from a legitimate question because they are afraid of
simply asking it.

Subject: RE: EMC and product safety split?
One way to cut down on mail traffic would be not having to
read this type of
discussion thread.
I know the reason I subscribed was based on content relating
to both EMC and
Safety. This forum has been very helpful for establishing
quality
engineering practices to enhance design, based on the limits
and
requirements of regulatory standardization at a global
level.
If some of the information is not relevant to you, I am
certain that it
would helpful to your colleagues since you share a common
vision at the
corporate level. Information sharing is a great asset in
producing great
product. Share the wealth, this is what this forum is all
about anyway.
From where I sit all information is welcome.
Mark
