Just wondering if anyone can enlighten me as to why they make white LEDs reverse polarity to standard LEDs? I can't think of any reason other than to make it awkward for the hobbist. I mean where's the logic in it? Also why not make CBE in transistors standard and while they are at it make the 78XX regulators have the same pinouts for the 100ma and 1A units

Ahhh feels much better now I have that out my monday morning rant.
