Am I the only person who saw an attachment to this email which has nothing to do with this email but rather was supposed to be attached to the other thread: "[EE]: Single power supply, true-AC-input analog to digital interface" by Electron? I don't know if Gmail messed up (I use Gmail) or if the list did, but I see a GIF of a schematic attached to BOTH this message and Electron's.
