>>In my opinion the problem is those list members who refuse to accept that
those who are frustrated or who just would like more accurate shipping
predictions have any right to express this on the list. It is just as valid
an issue for those waiting for a K3 as technical questions are for those who
are lucky enough to already have one. It is notable to me that most of the
complaints and discussion about dates have been made in polite, moderate
language, while most of the inflammatory comments and use of pejorative
language ("whiners", "whingers" etc.) has come from those who disagree with
them. So exactly who are the fine folks and who aren't?<<

All of this "in my opinion" is valid...However, it works both ways as regards the use of pejorative language...Eric, Wayne, and Elecraft in general have been accused of lying, deception, and subterfuge...Voicing disappointment and frustration is one thing, attacks on the character of folks is quite another, and that is what has happened here...IMHO, that is a reflection of character and is not acceptable...

There is a bigger picture than painted by the above. Taken as a snapshot
the above is fair and accurate and reasonable and correct. The problem
comes when persons 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16,
17, 18, 19, 20.... 47 basically repeat the same complaints and
accusations expressed by number 1 rather than accepting that someone has
already represented the dissatisfied on the reflector. The deceased
equine is unchanged whether it's struck by 1 or 100. The majority,
presuming several thousand subscribers vs. several dozen equine
strikers, are sick of listening to the thuds. To be very blunt, the
situation, with it's delays etc., is well known and needs to be accepted
as an unfortunate but unavoidable fact. Everyone needs to either shut up
about it and tough it out or cancel and go take up knitting and leave
the dam horse alone.

Guys - Please do not moderate the list. I'll jump in when I feel it is
necessary or my feelings are hurt too much ;-)

I apologize if my post was the catalyst. I never even thought about
moderating the list or defending your feelings. I just wanted to point
out why so many of us are tired of the 87th repetition of the same
complaint and hopefully reduce the future number. I'll go back to mostly
monitoring and learning and try not to speak out where I guess I
shouldn't. 73.

Hi Leo,

No problem :-)  I was just trying to cut it off before it took on a life
of its own.

73, Eric

Geesh Eric maybe you could at least bob and weave a little ;-) Good luck moderating the list. Hopefully the firestorm of criticism will slow down a bit in the near future.73, Mike KS7D
