I'm in agreement here with Kevin here. IMHO, the presentation of a site
is often just as important, if not more so, than the technical back end
and being that I didn't get a lick of artistic talent from my parents
gene pool, I appreciate seeing what other folks put together, not for
the purpose of plagiarizing, but inspiration of what 'can be done' with IC.
As with this person's site, I would probably never purchase anything
from it, but I have to believe that his posting of the site wasn't
motivated by the hopes of a 'cheap sale' just as me posting my site last
week, I'm mean, how many of you folks really need a '18 Ghz twelve way
power divider is?' My guess is that there isn't a single sole on this
list that has a clue as to what that is, so likewise I wasn't looking
for the 'cheap sale' either but honest constructive criticism and comment.
Some of the folks posting here really need to re-read their posting at
least once before they transmit because the level of unnecessary
'flaming' seems to be on the rise...
