I don't know as I agree with that.  Or at least not completely.  I read 
both the piclist and  the Microchip forums (or at least those 
subsections in the forum that are of interest), and while I agree that 
there is a wider audience there, the noise level is also a lot higher 
(if you leave out the [OT] postings of  the piclist).  The vast majority 
of that wider audience seems to be beginners, with a few experts (such 
as yourself) spread thin.  I may be wrong, but that is the impression I  
get.

Personally, I like to use both the piclist and the forums, but if I 
could only have one then it would be the piclist.
