RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Regarding the controversy

Mariss,

I would ask that you please do not remove the manual. You asked politely,
the list mom said OK and of the members that have expressed an opinion it
seems most are in support of this type of posting and files. Also remember
that there are about 695 people on this list that are so little concerned
they have said nothing about it.

Point is, a few people have questioned it and most have support it, I
personally will feel offended if this list restricts my ability to learn
about things related to the hobby based upon the input of just a few people.

Over the history of this list we have had a number of people that think a
subject is too specialized and should be removed from the list, and others
that think posting about selling anything is inappropriate. Bill has been
very level headed on all these things and taken the long term perspective.
Hot topics die off and people seeing things have not used the list as their
primary promotional method and as a couple of weeks pass everything settles
down to life as usual on CAD_CAM. You have become a great resource and
should not feel forced into retracting what has been done.

P.S. I am dieing to see the addendum on the pulse multiplier!!
