Has anyone noticed that precious few people on this thread have come close
to answering the original question, which was "please recommend
electronics components stores in San Diego"? Of course, implicit in that

And FWIW, the question is still open.

<mutter> google and yp.yahoo.com were a bust, too ... maybe the _paper_
yellow pages ...

Um, take a look at your original question before getting annoyed.

Your original question *did* get answered.

The fact that wasn't the question you *wanted* answered is not our fault. (Although, it's still not clear what you actually wanted answered ...)

Someone did mention Fry's. San Marcos store is better than the San Diego store for discretes. Unless you get a *really* good store locally, Fry's is going to be hard to beat for retail selection. Price, on the other hand, ... :(

We also pointed out that an LED is not going to work because you don't have enough voltage for the bandgap.

Since Fry's actually has a couple rows of discretes, it is more likely that you will find a low-voltage lamp that might actually work.

Quite frankly, you got a couple *good* answers. That's better than average for a mailing list thread. ;) It's one of the reasons for being on KPLUG.

You might want to be a little slower on the trigger to complain about free help that's actually accurate *and* related to the original question. This feels like the third or fourth time you've complained about the responses in a thread you initiated. On some of the higher traffic lists I monitor, people get put in the "ungrateful PITA" killfile for that.
