let me make sure steave,erik,Mr. Karas, kai and all are fully fadeup
I, for one, am not fed up.

I think the diluting of fora is one of the worst effects of the internet. Today someone googling for a '51 forum (good luck, you need MCS-51, 80c51, 80c5x, 8052 and who knows) may easily dump into a forum with so few participants that there are no checks and balances and go home with bad advice.

One of the great things about 8052 is the many participants. This allow for a bad idea to get caught before the asker get to implement it.

So, let us all have a wonderful christmas and not be led astray by something coming out of someones desire to be named "webmaster" or some other title.
