Hmm, I get grey background and white text, for what it's worth since they
appear to be "Bunny hunting" :-)

What I don't appreciate is the practice of spamming the newsgroups in order to
advertise a web site.

Of course the info is designed to sell their product. It's called advertising.
How better to make their products and presence known than on a web site.

Please tell... what is misleading about the information on the web site? Have
you bought any of their products and found them to be inferior or otherwise not
as avertised? If not, then I submit that you are a spammer as well.

Cheers!!!!

Well, it will have to be from memory since the site's not now available
here.

It doesn't give general advice on LEDs but simply the ones they sell.
Then things like LEDs can't be used on AC, and that those with built in
resistors are better value than plain ones.

Have you bought any of their products and found them to be inferior or
otherwise not as avertised?


Err, the subject was DIY LED guide. That could be a useful facility for
many if genuine and comprehensive. But it's simply an ad.

If not, then I submit that you are a spammer as well.


Oh yes? How many spammers reply to newsgroup posts? And how many include a
genuine e-mail address? ;-)

Your statement that the information on the site was misleading and designed to
sell their product was what I was bringing into question. I was curious as to
your motive for making the statement.

I looked at the web site in question, and there does seem to be a decent
discussion of LED applications, mounting techniques, etc. Granted, the site
would appeal more to the novice, but the info presented there is pretty general,
not applying just to their products (although it is slanted towards use of their
products).
Their mention of the use of LEDs on AC specifically states that they can't be
hooked directly across wall power, and is absolutely correct. Unless you use
some sort of circuitry to limit voltage and current, damage will ensue.


And that's all I have to say about that. (Forrest Gump)
