Docmentation of Solder Bridges

[Andrew Neil]

There have been several threads lately where the posters have seemed completely unaware of what a "solder bridge" is, and how to use it.

Example:

Perhaps this is something that needs to be explicitly explained & illustrated?

How can you build a bridge out of solder?!? don't be silly. Not enough tensile strength.

I don't think so.

I'm afraid the users you're referring to did not take the pain to open the respective manual and read it. What are the chances they would read yet another document?

Not a separate document - it should be in the same document.

But, if they haven't even opened that document ...
