Re: Elecraft Equipment chat group

Elecraft mailing list
In reply to this post by Michael Walker
I certainly would like to see that.
This list has way too much off topic, and real questions get lost in the fog of it all.

Hi All

I am thinking of starting an Elecraft email forum that would focus only on
Elecraft equipment.

While I like this list for the Elecraft discussions, about 50% of it is
related to off topic items and they flood my inbox with hundreds of emails.

How many of you would be interested?

73 all, Mike va3mw

Re: FW: Elecraft Equipment chat group

In reply to this post by Jerry Moore
Hi Jerry

This is not a moderator discussion as I am not asking them for their
permission, nor do I want to change anything they are doing or promoting.
I have discussed it with them at one point and they are pleased with how
this forum is being used.  What I am looking at is an alternative.

However, I and many others would prefer to stay on Elecraft equipment
topics and prefer to not see any off topic messages like earthquakes, cb
radio or cameras.  It does not help us in any way shape or form with the
usage of the great Elecraft products.  That is the reason that some (not
all) of us joined.

It is about providing options to the community so they can chose.

What is happening is that we are loosing highly technical resources that
would normally contribute to the Elecraft product set as they don't want to
see the off topic spam.

Yes, I can delete them and I don't mind when it is a small percentage, but
now is not a small percentage by a huge amount.  It is turning into a 50/50
discussion board.  I know some like it and that is great and I respect
that.  But, we also have to respect it for those that consider it spam.

If you don't want to be part of a 2nd forum, that is totally up to you and
others that are happy with the status quo.

Make sense?

In reply to this post by EricJ
Hi Eric

Actually, it doesn't go in in other forums to this extent.  And, when it
does, it is shut down.  This forum is the wild wild west.  :)

I posted a list of all the forums I am a member of, and they are all focus
on their charter.

I would not be interested. It would just wind up duplicating some of the
posts here in terms of topics.

The more people include keywords in the subject lines the easier it is for
those of us who know how to use mail filters to automatically filter out
emails about unwanted topics. For the non-filtered content the Delete key is
all that is needed.

I read a few of the NVIS related messages. Now I automatically hit the
Delete key for any other messages with that word in the subject line. My
email program looks for 15 different references to Elecraft products in the
subject line and tosses those messages in to the trash folder when seen.
That leaves me with a folder of K2 related messages and another filter puts
any remaining Elecraft messages in to a non-K2 folder. It makes the list a
lot more managable.

Cheers!

Kevin.

In reply to this post by Michael Walker

Not at all interested.  It takes me maybe 15 seconds to scan through the
Subject headers to delete the ones I'm not interested in, or have become
bored with, and I get just as many messages as you do.

Besides, unless you plan to moderate your list (which will take you FAR
longer to do than liberal use of your delete key on the current list and
take up even more of your time explaining why you blocked a particular
post) your new list is likely to end up with a similar composition to
this one ... maybe even more given that Wayne and Eric have more street
cred than you do.  As someone else just posted, it's human nature to
pollute.

Lastly, I'm not interested in every Elecraft product, and I'd still have
to do the same scan/delete process on your list that I do on this one.

I strongly disagree with starting another forum-there’s already plenty.And-a number of other forums I subscribe to go ‘way farther off than this one. Do us all a favor-don’t divide the knowledge. Eric and Wayne do a fine job moderating.

I'd like to close this thread at this time to reduce email overload for our
other readers.

As the central Elecraft community discussion forum, we rely on this list both to
post official Elecraft updates and to get motivational feedback, marketing and
technical info from all of you. Its a huge resource for us, and of course, for
all of you.

Regarding other discussion forums: There already are at least three unofficial
Elecraft related Yahoo discussion Groups in existence.   One, just called
'Elecraft' is a very low volume general discussion area for anything Elecraft
related. It receives just a few posts each week. (I actually manage that one
since it was released by its creator many years ago. I am not able to regularly
read or post to it though.) There also is an Elecraft K3 Yahoo list that gets a
few more posts, and a reasonably active Elecraft KX3 yahoo group. We try to
watch those, but we are not able to do so nearly as often as we watch and
participate here.

Note also that there is an official Elecraft Facebook page at:
https://www.facebook.com/Elecraft.Inc

In general, we prefer that this list remain as the central daily Elecraft
discussion forum. We certainly acknowledge that there will be other new Elecraft
lists popping up from time to time, but we can not guarantee that we will always
be able to read and respond on those lists regularly.

Also, please limit OT non-Elecraft product related postings here as much as
possible, and to voluntarily stop replying to, and kill, those OT threads after
less than 10 on-list replies (preferably less then 5.. :-)

I'll post the formal list user guidelines in a moment.

Not I.

I use the DELETE key a lot.

We don't need another group, but maybe a bit more etiquette on this one.

I recently signed up for the eHam list which is organized by interest
area, posted a couple questions, received relevant answers & comments
and am not bothered by OT stuff.  Those here with all these OT messages
would probably get better info from a wider audience.
I joined this group because I'm an Elecraft owner and found it to be a
good resource.  100 posts per day, mostly OT, or Me Too is too much.  
Occasionally I've taken the whole mailbox and sorted it on the From
column,  reading only posts from Eric & Wayne.

Mike you know I’d follow you anywhere/anytime but in this case I would rather not have to join yet another group. It would just add to the problem I’m already having with HAM group email overload. This group is actively moderated so I’m fine with filtering the daily digests.

If anything I wish this group were mirrored on facebook as it would be even easier to follow the threads and use the thread filter options there. In the digests there is no convenient way to unsubscribe from a thread where as this is a basic Facebook feature.

Hi All

I am thinking of starting an Elecraft email forum that would focus only on
Elecraft equipment.

While I like this list for the Elecraft discussions, about 50% of it is
related to off topic items and they flood my inbox with hundreds of emails.

How many of you would be interested?

73 all, Mike va3mw

I’m afraid I wont be joining that - I think the one group from Elecraft Reflector is sufficient.

Note - this thread was closed yesterday.

The list is mirrored in web format,  both in date and threaded formats, on
several platforms (Nabble, Mail-archive etc..) We list several on our web page at:
