Well, I was google searching for sources for surface-mount
step-recovery diodes (we have a customer who wants us to make one of
our products *slower* so I need to find some piggish parts) and I
found us quoted here:

http://www.electronics-forum.net/design/Ultrashort_pulse_generation_339309.html


So, have SED postings been hijacked into some "forum"? How very
strange.

Will *this* post get hijacked too?

John

Oh, to make a slower pulse you have to drive the SRD through bigger
impedances, and that makes the drive current build up slower, and then
you run out of charge before the current builds up enough, so you need
parts with more storage time, and like that. It's hard to slow down a
fast SRD.

Stated goal is to provide access to those folks who have web access,
but do not have access to usenet.

You can remove your posts from their system if you don't like it.
There is an "automatic removal" link at the bottom of the pages.

Doesn't matter, they didn't get anything of value......

I doubt it. If this is the forum I've similarly stumbled across myself
a while ago, it's a learning resource for students of electronic
design. Some sysadmin skims the group for all the helpful, didactic
posts and makes them available on this site, free of all the crap,
flames and spam (assuming it's the same one I found, that is). I
feature on it quite heavily, since I ask so many intelligent
questions. :)
I hope they won't try to charge for access in future, though. Wouldn't
really be in the 'net spirit of info-sharing.

What's wrong with redundancy?
You never know when all of Google's 22,000 computers
will all go down at the same time.

Good point.

Or Google could decide to stop their Usenet service. It happend
before when deja.com went out of business, and there was great
unhappines on Usenet for about a year or so until Google picked up
Deja's archives.

Crumbs! I always wondered what the gap was about!

It wasn't quite like that, Google bought out Dejanews and rather
annoyingly took the archives offline for a year while they messed about
with them. I don't think there is any gap remaining, is there?
