If you are interested in seeing my volunteer work, come on over and you
can help too.

Nobody is currently banned from the Piclist. Sure, we don't get to talk
about everything under the sun, and you feel limited by it, but if you
want to talk about PICs and electronics there is no better place for it.
All the admins have their own ideas how to steer the focus of the
Piclist. There are also other tasks you don't see. I deal with bounces,
subscription problems and helping users with their posting problems. I
take an active role in the administration of the Piclist. But when I
step in and stop a thread, it's natural that sometimes the recipient is
going to feel unjustly squelched. Especially since I am busy and don't
spend a long time composing my mail.

Again, the Piclist is a great place to talk about PICs and electronics.
That is the focus of the Piclist. Enjoy that. It's wonderful.

Best regards,

Bob
