i've been frequenting here less and less lately, as it seems like there has been a further shift towards the DIFM and "me too" approach. granted, i started there, but the nature of things at that point compelled me to either learn or stagnate. i find that to be less and less true. not only are designs being directly copied, but it seems like it's being done with no exploration or regard for adaptation and improvement. without pointing direct fingers, there are (even more basic than usual) designs being copied part for part without regard for improved performance or exploitation of modern components, and boards being printed where they're highly impractical. dear gearslutz, come purchase your boards- no research required. in the latest case, a discussion about my own personal use layout from almost a year ago seems to have been (rather poorly, i might add) put into service in a current board design.
i'll add that this isn't a shot at jakob, jeff, colin, ian, volker, abe, or anyone who demonstrates a clear effort to assess designs where possible. i'm just f**king annoyed, and i wish the word filter would allow me to adequately express it.
