Why?
This is pointless.
All that happens is you get fragmentation of  resources much better to 
use the comp.arch.embedded & comp.sys.arm   It is where most of the long 
term experts are.

Why don't you check out the other Yahoo ARM groups?  If you do you will
find that there are more experts around than just the ones that post in
these newsgroups... a *lot* more!

I'm not even sure what a "long term expert" is.  I do know that the
Yahoo groups are very focused and you will find discussions that can
provide a lot of help or insight into issues that are particular to the
products you are using.  Let's face it, the topic of comp.arch.embedded
can be a bit broad!

ADuC
AT91SAM
OKI-ARM-mcus
STMicroSPEAr
TMS470_ARM

And those are just the ones I have created.  The Philips LPC2000 group
is one of the most successful MCU groups around.  If you haven't tried
it, don't knock it!

I wouldn't give Yahoo the time of day, let alone one of my e-mail addresses.

Hi Rickman,
Just in case you didn't realize, Luminary Micro has a online
discussion forum on their site.
   http://www.luminarymicro.com/component/option,com_joomlaboard/Itemid,92/

And their engineers are there to answer any technical questions.
(and possibly some of the non-technical questions :> )

That may be.  But Yahoo groups are a good way for users to share
knowledge and any vendor worth their salt will monitor the groups and
provide assistance where ever it is asked for.  Different users prefer
different methods of getting help.  Some people like newsgroups, others
like Yahoo forums others like the vendor forums.

Personally I don't see LM Stelaris devices solving any problems that I
have.  I didn't start the Yahoo group, I am just letting people know it
exists in case anyone is interested.
