Hello,
Welcome to the list. Please take a moment to review this message.

This list is for discussion of CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO. The list is aimed at the
construction and use of this equipment in a Home Shop Machinist environment.
I
would hope that the discussion will consist of Links, sources, progress
reports, and things of this nature.
It is not aimed at the commercial professional systems, and there users.
However there comments will be welcome with regard to our projected uses of
the
systems.
The list is a direct result of the discussions on the above subject at NAMES,
1999.
Hopping that it helps all of us interested in this phase of our hobby.
I feel that all postings should be done the same fashion as in the
Modeleng-list, with all attachments sent direct to whoever asks for them,
rather than posting to the entire group. I set the list up for over 17, due
to the
safety aspects of the electric's, and mechanic's involved. The list is
unmoderated and hope that we can keep it that way. Any comments or
suggestions
will be greatly appreciated. Looking forward to sharing information with all.

I feel that the list is doing what it set out to do, I have not felt the need
to split the list, as I think that most of the postings have been within the
concept of the list, Helping all of us in the shop, on the list subjects. To
get more on the subjects you are interested in, you must help to push them
and get the threads you want started, and you must also help feed and nurture
them, if you don't see what you want, then bring up the subject.
Because this is an unmoderated list you have more freedom in what you post,
hopefully within the constraints of the subject of the list. If the noise
gets excessive on a subject, then we will address toning it down, steam
engines etc.
If anyone disagrees with me, I would encourage them to open a dialog on the
subject. Also anyone is free to start a list on ONELINE if they so desire.
We have 203 on the list today, and only about 20 or so posting, so there are
a lot out there that are lurking, and I would ask them to start threads that
they are interested in, if there needs are not being met with the current
threads. These are my thoughts as of now, and you are encouraged to accept,
or oppose them.

PS, I do understand the desire of some to split the list subjects.
