Linc, you are absolutely correct about this group--the advice provided
(often at great length) and the sense of community are wonderful. The only
negatives postings I've seen so far have been about products (specifically
the Micro Scout) that don't live up to expectations.
It is indeed refreshing to be part of a group where relative newbies are not
just tolerated, but encouraged.
I'm also thrilled to tap into such a source of good, old-fashioned
tinkering--the Lego pneumatic tester is a good example.
Thanks again, Linc (and all). It's a pleasure working with you.
--Doug Wilcox
