Torsten:

I praise you in support of your well stated words.   I also see this
everyday working with my customers ie: process engineers here in the U.S.

You cannot provide adequate answers without detail process descriptions.
This results in excess emails trying to get more information and wrong
answers without knowing all conditions.   I do find it to more of a passive
nature than laziness.   Perhaps a fine distinction.

Best to you.

         Regards

            Steve

Dear Community,

I do not know whether it just disturbs just me or I'm even wrong.
Moreover, I'm more a reader than a writer to this list and therefore, I
may have even not the right to write these lines.

However,

To all people out there who believes that they can gather quick
information about a topic, machine or vendor by writing a 3-line mail to
this list like:

To All,

I like to measure / buy / create something could you please send me
information.

Regards

Lazy

THIS WILL NOT WORK !!!!!

How could you believe that people here will do your job ?
The gathering of information is the first step of a new
engineering-task. Nobody can help you here. Please stop to ask such
questions.
After getting an idea of what you want and after you are familiar with
the basics of your new task feel free to ask about specific details. In
addition you have to add as much information as possible to your
question to give people an idea what you like to do.
Read paper in journals concerning your topic, search in google etc.,
read textbooks ask stuff and colleagues ... and then ask here.

As far as I understood this mailing-list was created for DETAILED
discussion of MEMS-devices and -technology.

It is NOT a

write-my-thesis-list
do-my-job-list
and
its not a human-powered-google-filter

Sorry, but I really get angry about all these question since I have the
feeling they are becoming more and more.
To all others here: Nice interesting list, I enjoy to read it.

Greetings

Torsten
