The Open Topic forum. Techserv offers both the PEDA forum and a sidebar forum for discussion of topics that are...off-topic. Peda is technically for discussion of Protel-related (directly) matters; use of the program, discussion of future direction, etc., but not RoHS and similar. My own opinion on that topic is that it is so pervasive that whether ontopic or off, it is worthy of discussion wherever it takes place, but that's just my opinion. Other PEDA members, and more importantly, the host, may not feel that way...
There haven't been any complaints from either, so I don't see why the thread really needs moving at this juncture... regards, aj >-----Original Message----- >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of TDK >Sent: Tuesday, December 13, 2005 9:08 PM >To: 'Protel EDA Discussion List' >Subject: RE: [PEDA] avionics > > >What is the OT forum ? > >Is that on the IPC group of sigs ?? > >Regards >TDK > > >-----Original Message----- >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brad Velander >Sent: Tuesday, December 13, 2005 5:14 PM >To: Protel EDA Discussion List >Subject: RE: [PEDA] avionics > >Thanks Mira, > However, like most of the articles published the >comments you quoted are misleading and very incomplete.
