I've been on the site and read and posted very little over the last five or so years. My main interest has been DIY (and especially designing my own stuff, my career is electronics engineering and embedded programming). I've found the Synth-DIY list [SDIY], and its archives more useful. I do find it fascinating that the site has been so cantankerous for so many reasons over the years.
