I agree, especially with the last point.  But the set of two
thoughts are interesting taken together.  Piclist is like
listening to an elderly curmudgeon ramble; some of the stories
are interesting, and some of the advice invaluable, but...

I've been pretty shocked at the level of cluelessness displayed
on assorted official forums where you'd think people would know
better.  The Eagle newsgroups are another example; if I was the
cadsoft representative tasked with saying 'use the mirror command'
every time someone asked how to move components to the other side
of the board, I think I'd have run away screaming a long time ago!
