Then I miss posts about PCB fabrication, tools, etc.

Clearly they aren't and never will be. Whenever you force people to choose
from a small list there will be some that don't quite fit. Into [OT] they
go. Now someone will suggest adding more tags.

I don't hate you. I hate what's happened to the piclist. It's grown in size
and mediocrity. Subject tagging is confusing and wasteful and makes people
who want a technical list drop the piclist like a hot potato. That guy who
left last night is a perfect example.  Wake up, smell the coffee, and
exercise your brain. Inspire us to greatness. This isn't a chat room.
Writing multipage instructions on the use of the piclist and subject tags
doesn't work either. The old piclist worked. It ebbed and flowed and good
people stayed.

Cheerful regards,
