Separate list for K3

[Marteinn Sverrisson]

Hi

If you feel that the list is out of hands, then do as I did long ago,
unsubscribe and just read the MARC list archives, subjects are neatly
sorted and grouped.

No clogging of your Mail inbox.

To post to the list, just make an entry for "[hidden email]"
in you address book or whatever you use, and cut and paste the subject ...


73, Matti

Or do what I have done, put mail rules in place to discard anything with K1,
KX1 or K2 in the subject that comes from Elecraft - that hits about 80% of
non-K3 related mail. Sorry, I'm one of those filling the list with K3 stuff.

Eric has made it quite clear they do not wish to split the list, so lets not
start that thread all over again and fill the list more, please.

A much better alternative was shown to me the other day, it is at http://www.nabble.com/Elecraft-f28632.html . If you subscribe using the same email address you are subscribed to the reflector with, you can post directly from this without any cutting and pasting, as I am doing right now.

Another possibility is to open a free Gmail account. Gmail has excellent filtering and you can set it up to highlight the posts that contain the terms you are interested in and mark as read the rest. With 2GB of storage you will also build up your own personal archive for searching.

Finally I would mention (again) the Elecraft forums at http://www.zerobeat.net/smf/index.php which were set up as a response to complaints like this. The forums are not very active because it seems the majority are actually happy with the reflector as it is, plus Elecraft's unwillingness to participate, but they *do* fulfil the objective of splitting the traffic into topics of specific interest, as you'll see if you take a look.

My solution is to filter out any email with "K3" in the title.  It all
goes to a separate folder.  The same goes for email with "elecraft" in
the title.  As a result, I have 3 "in" folders.  The third has most of
my non-radio communications in it.  That is the folder I check daily.

I also try to keep any responses short and infrequent.

I use Thunderbird, but I assume other email programs have similar
provisions.

The nabble archive is fantastic!  If you don't want email filling your inbox and want a well-organized view of the archives, take a minute to look at this and then register your email address so you can post.  There is no excuse (except ignorance or laziness) for anyone not to use this as an alternative to the email list!

I would like everyone considering cancelling thier K3 order due to any
reason to do so at once.  I may yet get my very own K3 by Xmas.  I think my
serial number may already have decreased by one or two.

Why not sweeten the deal and send them their deposit?  They can reimburse you
when it's received from Aptos.

At some point you could offer the dposit + xx premium to move up the list.
