Re: gEDA-user: preferred power connection style?

Hi,

My two cents on this.

	I don't know if I would go as far with the last statement (I should
look at that net= mini-howto and revise it a little).

	The decision to use the net= attribute or have power pins on the
schematic is a religious issue.  If it makes sense to use one over the other,
then by all means.  You will find (unfortunately) the current symbol library
is a little inconsistent in this regard.  gaf doesn't try to impose on the 
user one way of doing things. 

	In summary, use your best judgement.
