They were trimmed of the headers, and zipped.
I've spent months working on them.
I have well over a years worth done. But, when your doing yourself takes
time, and since no one wants to help, it really must not be too important
since no one really wants to actually do any work.

I'd venture a guess the EE's are in the minority.
After ya read them a few times, they make more sense.

So, then just ignoring them is a better response?.
Unless you put some time into it, you'll never have a firm grasp on it.
Why try to cover a complex subject in a paragraph when there are excellent
threads about some subjects?.
Why jus repeat the same stuff over and over?.
That's way there's 5 days worth of reading cause so often the stuff is again
just repeated....

Gee, what do you think, 101, tuning.doc, definitions, etc, are for?.
How much hand holding needs done?.
Your right it is emcompassing, that's way you need to do alot of reading to
get a grasp of what's going on.
Grumpy
  Feel free to volunteer to help clean up the archives.
