My first language is not English!!! I have seen other list services and news
groups dissapate because of too many disparate threads. Loosing focus on the
topic is as detrimental to the group as is loosing focus on laguage. My
discussing none-related topcis such as ASIC design will not benefit the
group. If anything, many non-related threads will discourage people from
participating.

PS. I resent your accusation that I/we who do not believe as you do are
"abuse by the mono-culturists amongst us". Your sensitiviy to this topic
without the benefit of knowing me or my intentions shows some of the
regidity and lack of open-mindedness that you so preach.

Bob, why am I a mono-culturalist? How am I being abusive? Me thinks you are
a little too sensitive here. We should be able to have a healthy debate
without any accromony creaping in.

Bob, sorry if my grammar or spelling is not perfect. English not my first
language. It is my second.
