Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: New poll for CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO

Tony,

My reply was only meant to put forward "my" opinion in response to your post
and in no would I wish to change you stance. I certainly agree with you
being able to question the use of a poll in this respect, however should
Bill wish to change the remit of this list that is his right. I, and I am
probably still in that majority of one, would not like to see huge bandwidth
taken up by the machining of brass, marble, steel and so forth. Yes, there
is room for some of this stuff but I believe the original intention of this
list was to expand the use of CNC machinery from the select few to the many.
I have always found this list to be uncensored until the posting get out of
hand. Bill has always been fair in letting OT mail exist until it gets "over
the top". With 50+ mails per day and some members neglecting or forgetting
to put a correct subject heading is it any wonder that from time to time
some action or comment has to be made. I would be happy to ask any question
to do with our hobby on this list knowing that the majority of its members
are helpful and will try to answer anything, it is when the debate going on
too long that creates the problems.

If I can be of help with basic machining questions feel free to email me
off-list.

Regards,

Terry
