This statement is incorrect. BY DEFINITION, this list WELCOMES topics of
general interest.
Here's the description from the Elecraft web page. (note the last sentence):
"The ELECRAFT email list server (reflector) is provided to further the
discussion of Elecraft products and related items. It serves as a forum for
the discussion of both technical and operating topics includingÂ
KX1/K1/K2/K3 features, construction and debug problems, sharing your
enthusiasm and impressions from using our products and more general ham
radio related topics of interest to our customers..."
Also, from the published list guidelines:
"While we do not overly restrict the subject matter on this list, and we
encourage postings on a wide range of amateur radio related topics, please
remember that the list's primary focus is on Elecraft products and their
use. Many people rely on it for pointers on building, using and
troubleshooting their Elecraft products."
The list -primary- focus is on Elecraft products, but not it's sole one.
Some of Elecraft's most innovative software updates for the K3 have been
initiated by broad discussions on this very list, for instance. (Think APF)
Posts about other companies products have been very beneficial to all here.
In my opinion, indeed Eric (as moderator) does not overly restrict subject
matter, but steps in when threads go on too long. I have always appreciated
his light hand as a moderator. I enjoy reading many of the not-strictly
Elecraft product-related posts.
