I'm nearing my 2000th post to SED!

Congratulations. You spent somewhat 500 hours for nothing.

It took me awhile to figure out why some people are on here.
My latest thought is..... for 'advertising' :)

I think people are quite conscious that they are here for leisure. The real
artists can't live without gathering the admiration. Some folks are whoring
here because whoring in the real life had become their second nature; not
for any specific purpose.

I think of it as a bit like the water cooler in a company. If you want
to get real business in a short period of time, the telephone and your
car keys are your friends.

Question is: Is it effective advertising for an electronics designer?

No. Although it leads to the small deals occasionally, it is not any
effective.
Who reads the newsgroups? Mostly marginals, amateurs and stupidents; you
shouldn't expect much usefulness from that sort of public.

Well, not everyone is an electronics designer, and some people who
dabble know enough to git down to the old saloon and lassoo
thermselves a hired gun when real money is involved. Maybe enough to
keep an old gunslinger in Chardonnay.
