Unsubscribing - I've finally had enough.

Hi, everyone.

The subject line probably says it all. It has gotten to the point that
I can't hit the delete button fast enough, even when I don't read the
messages. When I first got my KX1 several years ago, the reflector was
still a resource for building kits and troubleshooting them. Nowadays
it seems to be nothing but a way to announce one's general discontent
with everything from Elecraft's perceived problems (they aren't perfect,
but if all my vendors at work were one tenth as good, I wouldn't have
ANY problems), to dissertations on capitalism and isolationism vs.
globalism.

I'm not sure where the ham radio content went, but since I can't seem to
find much of it anymore, I'll wish everyone well and spend my time
elsewhere.

See you on the air.

Rick, WD8KEL

Good grief. For anyone who feels like Rick, here's a simple way to read only Subjects that interest you, never receive a single email, and reply in context to any that interest you:

1. Subscribe to the list at http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft (if you're getting emails now you've already done this step)
2. After confirming your subscription, enter your address at the very bottom of the same page above. You'll be asked for your password on the next page so there's also a way to recall it if necessary.
3. On the page that appears after step 2, scroll down to "Mail Delivery" and check the "Disabled" box, scroll to the bottom and click "Submit My Changes".
4. Now go to the Nabble-Elecraft list here and subscribe: http://www.nabble.com/Elecraft-f28632.html
5. Click on only the Subjects that interest you and click Reply if you want to respond. Your message will be in context with the message you are responding to.

There is simply NO reason for anyone to be frustrated if they take 5 minutes to do the above. No emails, choose only Subjects you want to read and reply in context. What could be simpler?

Well said Rick, can the reflector please be a source of Elecraft info only?
I too may have to unsubscribe if these ramblings continue.

One would think that since the mailing list is owned by Elecraft, they can
police the list....as we've seen several times when Eric has called for an end to a
particular thread.

Yep, it's way too much. Fred has a nice general discussion forum on
QRZ.COM for those who care to transmit hogwash. And any of us who
might enjoy reading such ramblings could simply go over there each
time after we check here for Elecraft traffic. That would sure make
this place more "professional" looking.

Gentlemen,

Lets end THIS thread. Its generating more noise than necessary.

Also, I already ended the other thread in question this morning, shortly
after it began. It usually echoes for a couple of more postings before
everyone reads my END message..

Thanks to all those who replied.
I had heard of a CEO, but a COO was a new one on me.

I had visions of Pigeons; don't know why !
