Folks,
After Doug's (WS3X) mistaken posting (thinking he was being spammed by
the monthly list password reminder email) asking to be removed from the
list, he received a number of mean spirited and even profane direct
emails from list members. One list member even posted his (and his
wife's) personal information to the list! (Yes, that information can be
found via various web search engines, but adding to the proliferation of
this personal info via a post here was mean spirited and caused both
Doug and his wife a lot of lost sleep.) All of these emails were totally
inappropriate and to be honest, I'm shocked.
A little thought by the senders before hitting the enter key might have
stopped the majority of these.
Please remember in all postings to the list and direct emails to
Elecraft list members that harassing or profane language is not allowed
by the list guidelines. Failure to adhere to this policy will result in
your removal from list membership. Period.
Apologies to Doug are also appropriate.
This is the first time I've had to take action of this sort. I hope it
is the last. To be honest, I'm amazed that so many people forgot that
this is just a hobby and that they could be so mean spirited in their
emails. Fortunately 99% of our over 2,000 Elecraft list members do not
fit into that category and are just having a good time building,
operating and enjoying ham radio. Let's keep that part emphasized :-)
Your positive feedback and regular interchanges on this list are a good
part of what keeps us motivated to think up new products. Let's get back
to that endeavor.
