Product naming has a long standing tradition here. Every one of the major players in the field has had their name posted to the group on nearly a weekly basis for the last several years. Advertising a product is one thing, but informational posts with direct correlation to a short-coming of the topic product (aka Protel EDA) is entirely within scope. Doug, I personally think it would be quite beneficial to the group to post the product name/mfg here, as it would validate those claims to the Protel/Altium lurker staff, thereby applying more than implicative pressure on the company. You know how it is with unsubstantiated allegations, whether against a concern or in favor of another...They're unsubstantiated and therefore can easily be dismissed by those in the management track as nothing more than blather. Evidence is worth its weight in gold. aj * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * To post a message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * To leave this list visit: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/leave.html * * Contact the list manager: * mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * Forum Guidelines Rules: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/forumrules.html * * Browse or Search previous postings: * http://www.mail-archive.com/proteledaforum@techservinc.com * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
