How do you get a thread titled "useless information" off track ?

Member Pinkfloyd hammered them on a concrete garage floor after the bad soldering experience.THAT is more in line with my thoughts on RoHs.
Details in the thread on the Meier HA-1/Cross-1 boards

The solder is the LEAST problem and this compliance has been driving the chip makers nuts trying to get it right.They say all is well but I am not buying it or every time they say it there would not be a "it's better now" white paper.If there is no problem why does it need a fix ?
first there is the corporate "happy face" that is the attempt to make the best out of a bad situation :

almost too damn funny until you realise it is TI putting out such grammer school level crap (maybe they know something we don't ? That most engineers are idiots ?).i love this one :

so if I am reading that correctly,they are using standard lead coppper framing INSIDE but tocomply with RoHs the leads are UNLEADED and if that is correct then they are also saying "we really need to use the leaded but since we can not we cheated where we could but unfortunately YOU are fked and must use the unleaded leads for YOUR connections.Ours being internal are safe
"
This crap would be funny if not so serious.Six months ago everything was "fine" according to the TI's of the world yet every week a new "we fixed that problem" comes out.Well if there never was a problem i really need to know why the fk you are fixing things that do not exist !
Because they are lying is why.All across the board it is a lie from the law itself,the reasons for it,to compliance and relaibility and WE are all caght in it whether we like it or not.The stock shortages of parts while the transition takes place (try to get a TO-220 BUF634) is only the tip of the problems we will end up with when amps either never work or cease operations for no apparent reason
Wow has this gone off topic or what! |

There was a thread on here recently with someone having insane difficulties soldering an RoHS compliant BUF634. Whatever they are doing it's heading for the worst. |

I am not sure what effect of the RoHs directive has on IC design, I hope the effects are not as derogatory as the solder changes? |
