Homebrew PCBs

I agree with you Steve.
I'd also say it is more reasonable for all members interested to join the  
other list than anything else, as it provides a already familiar interface  
etc..
You already provide the URL for the archive group on the bottom of each  
message, so i see no reason why people wouldn'd find their way there  
eventually. People are too lazy now to join, but when here it is finally  
so full that it says "sorry, no way to upload" the stuff will start to go  
there and ppl will follow and join.
