Dave McGuire : I have no hardware in orbit. I have however been
tinkering with electronics since age 4. I have a BS and I have been
working in a research lab full of phd's and professors for 6 years.
Point being that while I am a lightweight went it comes to
professional design but I am well acclimated to egotism and
condescension. I don't think that is what John is doing here.

I don't tend to use John's stuff but I did try to contribute a few
years back to PCB. Then as now it was low coherency. Since then it has
gained doxygen documentation which makes things marginally better. I
still feel that too an extent the developers created something no
outside contributor could manage to add to with out a very steep
learning curve.
