Usefulness of the the list

[Larry - K2GN]

I agree with Claude.
The "Beating a horse to death" and then "Beating it for dying", certainly
has rendered the Elecraft list pretty useless.
It's just too many messages to weed through looking for something
meaningful.
Even filtering becomes useless.  
It's a shame because some guys post real useful messages that get beaten
into the ground with challenges, their thoughts and OH yeah, those "My other
brand rig" does it this way, can you make the Kx do that!!"   Yeah, stay
with your "other brand rig". If I want to know about those rigs, I'll
subscribe to their reflectors.
Unfortunately What is needed is 2 list, one for all this nonsense type stuff
and one for real Elecraft stuff.

Wayne,  maybe you should give some thought for announcing Elecraft NEWS
Items, like Beta test releases, Firmware, new products and Real Elecraft
stuff from Elecraft.
It could be a outgoing list only where nobody gets to respond!!!!

Just a thought(s).

Hmmmm...it does seem to going down the road of a "Slow News Day"..??

Maybe it is time for a break..or maybe we could find a manufacturer who
makes "Wheels" for the K3 so we could "really" go mobile?

Time for my "Poppy Nap", the nice man in the pretty white coat is trying to
tell me something.

ZZZzzzzzzzzzzzz

Amen to those thoughts...   This reflector has too many messages totally
unrelated to Elecraft products.  I don't care if your old radio had certain
features or the constant whining and griping.

I don't think I've ever been on a list that _wasn't_ full of OT posts and childish tantrums and fights.

Just don't read the stuff, the delete key is your friend here and it works every time.

And when the children email you directly as they did me during the posting-personal-info thread, just cut-n-paste 'em a message to not write you again until they grow up.

Simple as pie!

Agreed...

Sometimes you have to dig for the gems as they are all not lying on the
surface.

I think the list is fine.

I read the list and others with Forte' Agent because it has infinite
filtering possibilities, allowing me to dump what I don't want to read
about.  I'm not advertising here.  I'm simply telling what I do to
enjoy the list and filter out what (to me) is nonsense.  Other folks
view nonsense differently than I do and have different opinions than
I, so rather than gripe about what others like to spout off about, I
filter those folks and their favorite subjects out.
