To EPICS/Tech-talk:

I agree with Steve Lewis and others in that I, too, find the evolving
discussions on tech-talk about problems people encounter to be useful to me
for all the same reasons already given.  I would like to see tech-talk
continue to be used this way.  I also would encourage those who seek help
through tech-talk to summarize what they have learned for the benefit of
others, especially when some of these discussions must go off-line at
times.  Such summaries have been very helpful to me in the past.

As for Chris Larrieu's suggestion,
"Tech-talk might then be used exclusively for announcements."
I would rather see a separate list-server set up dedicated to announcements
rather than see the current mode of tech-talk use changed.  I need such a
"free for all forum" to help me learn and to stay abreast of EPICS
developments.

I have also had the same experience as Maren Purves when I "mine the data"
in the Tech-talk archives, of getting help in a new area from articles
originally unrelated to each other that stimulate my thinking or give me
some ideas to try.

I really appreciate the support Bill McDowell and others have given
Tech-talk and maintenance of the searchable archive.  I do not find very
many such technical resources on the Web that get on-going support.
