Against all advice I have created a Yahoo news group devoted the

Posting will not be allowed.


I intend it to be more of a library then an active disscussion group.


I check into this group several times a week, and if anyone posts
anything that looks RFI related I will copy the link over the my new
group.


Snip

I don't see the point of doing this. Most news readers will allow you to
search on words in the subject line like RFI.

If you are interested in older articles that rolled off the news server
you use then you can use Google news groups to search for any subject.

Why go through the trouble to maintain a Yahoo group to do the same
thing that is already available?

You are probably right, (actually, ARE right) if the "Googler" knows
enough to filter and or interpret the data found.

You are very knowledgeable and would quickly find what you were
looking for. Keep in mind when it comes to noise reduction (and by
extension, grounding) is a somewhat complex subject. Add to that much
of the information out there on noise reduction and grounding is wrong
or at least incomplete. Someone who is looking for help often doesn't
understand enough to evaluate what is good and what is bad info.

And, if you go to one of the groups with questions, you often
innocently start a war on grounding! A while back I asked for help in
finding some noise reduction articles I was looking for on another
group, I got lots of advice on "just Google it". I had, and was
unable to find it. William Fieldstone sent me an email with the
information I was looking for plus a lot more helpful things.

So, I applaud him for starting a library of good information that will
hopefully filter out the "wheat from the chaff".
