post some pics of your sweet rigs and plates.

actually that's another thing, the home tissue culture forum (Even though yahoo sucks) has tons of pictures, but I rarely see any pictures posted on this list.

Can you post some links to good forums/mailing lists? At times this list surges with people saying it's 'too noisy' here and wanting to go create new mailing lists to 'keep the noise level down'.... but in my opinion it just means this list is almost a ghost-town. (and why haven't those complaining people figured out email inbox filtering/grouping?)

Personally I've had a hard time finding any good and active and friendly mailing lists for micro/nano fabrication, MEMS, or electron/ion microscopy. The few I've come across are very high-quality and high-level-of-complexity, but also extremely low-activity.

I'm actually pretty lonely (research friends/team wise) because there don't seem to be many people who outside of 'industry' or the 'academic elite' that hang out and think about this stuff for fun (and with goals).
