Ok, that would help.... But one also has to become a Yahoo

At least with Jason's mailing lists, there are no corporate
sponsorships....
Also, it would be nice not to fracture the AVR community.
Anyway, thanks for the advice.
I agree on all counts.
I despize the "forum" approach at "freaks", and the name grates on
me anyway.. I'm a contractor, not a "freak".
LOL!
Well, I'm a little more sanguine about it. AVR Freaks, I feel, has
it's place. There's a number of good people there. It's a good place
if you have fast question. I've noticed that a number of times
questions don't get answered on avr-gcc-list, or at least it seems
cyclical. There are times that avr-gcc-list is very quiet and then,
like recently, a huge surge in traffic. AVR Freaks is a good place for
newbies; they learn the ropes. I agree the name is almost embarassing,
but I didn't choose it. One other nice thing, is that, *finally*,
there are people from Atmel who are answering some questions on AVR
Freaks, especially in regards to their AVR Studio software. I think
it's getting monitored more by Atmel.
