Was: Es Season seems to have arrived- Separate lists

[Bruce Beford-2]

Re: separate lists (again). It is not "obvious" to me at all. As one of
thousands of people who own more than one Elecraft product, I prefer this
list remain in it's current format. There are other single rig lists out
there, and programs like Mailwasher to help one filter out what is not
wanted/needed. IMHO, the benefits of a single support/discussion list for
users of Elecraft products outweigh the convenience for some of individual
K1/KX1/K2/K3/KX3/KPA100/KXPA100/KRC2/XV/etc lists.

My opinion only, of course.

I agree.  This comes up every few months or so.  There are very easy ways to filter that have been mentioned numerous times but some are either too lazy or ignorant to use them.  Nabble is my favorite since it can segment by product number in the title.

We will not be splitting the list. Fragmenting the list will make it impossible for us to partiicipate and moderate it. Also, from past experience, fragmenting a list into seperate lists or forums is the quickest way to kill off an enthusiast community.

If you are suffering email oveload, there are a number of aids, such as filtering Elecraft posts to different folders using your email client or turning off email delivery and reading the list via the excellent sorted web index and real time digest at nabble etc. See www.elecraft.com/elist.html for links to the searchable web digests.

Let's end the spplitting thread for now.

Hi,

Good. The other way to avoid mail overload is to not use E-mail at all. I read the messages I want on marc.info and use nabble.com to respond. Works for me except I don't seem to be able to prevent nabble from copying my E-mail address on responses to my postings to them.
