I fully agree with you, xHx. I personally believe that exchange of ideas will lead to innovation. Let's say, CEans discuss ideas on CE and then do something 'innovative' in their college projects. But I do understand your point. If it comes to discussing code or posting circuit diagrams, it should be okay.
Section 2 is very well written. I agree with Crook that we should have a single page to which we can point for all such questions. Moreover, we will have to add screen shots to the points which cover 'how to post' or 'how to reply' etc. I'll start working on it as soon as possible.
As Ash said, we do have a great potential if the engineers from different trades start interacting. That's the USP of CE. Let's evolve xHx's guide & the common sense guide into a document that covers everything that is needed to be on CE. Only thing - it should be small & not scare people away
I'll start working on the guide and post the updates in this section for you all to comment on it.
