Sorry Olin, I had no idea I was doing that.  I'm using Outlook and the type is set to plain text.

Anyway, I asked:

I'm really actually enjoying this thread.  It is interesting for
me to see the design thoughts that go into developing a hardware 
idea into a real product.

I am curious about something, but I'm not sure how to explain.  
This is a prototype board, meaning I think a way to test an idea.  
Say for example I come up with an interesting design.  If I use 
parts of the schematics of your board with my final product, 
(which I might, correct, since the entire thing is a part of the 
new prototype?) would I need to be concerned about that? IOW, 
would I be stealing part your design?  

Or is the hardware world different from the software one? (-:

Apparently part of your paragraph got cut off somewhere, probably because
you are sending paragraphs as single long lines.  Compliant SMTP and POP3
servers are allowed to truncate long lines, which is apparently what
happened.  Try sending lines limited to no more than 80 characters.
