I don't have it. However, I'm writing because I'll note that the subscription list for the OT Forum is likely pretty small. This is why most of us who have a question like that will be likely to ask it on the PEDA list (in spite of a strict interpretation of list rules) or on [EMAIL PROTECTED], which also has a large subscription base. While the question is not specifically about Protel, it and its answer is reasonably likely to be of interest to the majority of Protel Users, thus I, personally, consider it to be sufficiently on-topic to warrant posting it to the main list. The Association is considering options that would address the problem of list burnout, where off-topic traffic -- or sometimes even on-topic traffic, causes user frustration and, frequently, unsubscription. It *is* a solvable problem, in my opinion, though the first pass solutions of establishing an independent OT list, or a moderated PEDA list, are, to me, less than satisfactory. Albeit at a glacial pace, the Association (which meets at [EMAIL PROTECTED]) is considering these issues.
