I did not say that he deserved abusing, and I did not notice any
abusing. I noticed Olin complaining loudly about sloppy use of Eagle
circuit editing, which IMHO might be a little besides the main point,
but still correct. I have had some wrong PCBs due to exactly this error.

I know we Dutch (that is me, not Olin) are internationally regarded as
rude and thick-skinned (dunno what the correct english term is but I
think you will get the meaning), but event taking this into account I am
still amazed how quickly people seem to be offended when someone points
out they are doing something (potentially) wrong. If you don't want to
be attended to what you are doing wrong, why ask questions on a list?
Plug your ears, plaster your eyes, lock the door, unplug the phone, and
no-one will tell you you did something wrong. In fact no-one will tell
you anything. If you like it that way, fine. But if you want to interact
with other people you will find various levels of 'rudeness' and varyous
styles of communication. Olin's nose is regularly rubbed in the dirt for
his mode of communication (that's a dirty job and I am glad someone is
doing it for me). But IMHO (some)people are way to prickly about the way
their questions are answered. And some people are very lazy and IMHO
they should be told so. That's also a dirty job and I am glad there are
some people (not just Olin) who do that. And notice that some of Olin's
posts on this matter rival James' best post in humour level.
