In the last 6 months or so, the noise (by that I mean incorrectly tagged posts, and posts by people who have apparently not read any of the pic list faq or info on the piclist, or the microchip web site, or even google!) has become deafening. I, for one have been grateful to Olin and others for try to keep some order on the list. Somebody has got to do it. The problem was that as the noise got louder and louder, so did Olin IMHO, and that became part of the noise to some. I know this is not a democracy, but I'd still like to register my vote. I have been reticent to post from my real account as folks just quote the email address out in the open (I consider that noise as well) but with this new account, I will try to gently steer folks to the proper channels of getting the information they need.
