First of all consider that there is a lot of good persons involved and working at Farnell, like &lt;span&gt;[mention:d8b5a813a1e6481d9b41301209fb5392:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05]&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span&gt;[mention:4213431ead3d478ca6912bc23688f94c:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05]&lt;/span&gt; as well as Farnell is investing - sure it is for a commercial return - a lot of money, instead of with super sales promotions and super cheap prices, to give to all including the users like you (sic!) the opportunity to test new products, discuss with very valuable and high skilled engineers, get solved problems and participate to very good challenges. All this just for free.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So, IMHO (and this is just a suggestion), maybe the worth to try other forums and make a serious critical comparison with this before this kind of useless and non-constructive critics, limited to just a list of assertions. In the case that your wide knowledge about &lt;em&gt;how the things should be&lt;/em&gt; reach the end of the web without finding any community at the expected decent level you point to maybe the case to create something really astonishing by yourself?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Just another suggestion (if you permit). As this is not the place of the &lt;em&gt;battle of curriculum&lt;/em&gt;, maybe more valuable that your wide expertise and knowledge will be listed in detail on your profile.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You are welcome.
