That's one benefit...it's email based...which means you can actually
store messages on your computer.

If you reply to the address of the list,
[hidden email], then
every list member sees the post...which is how the bulk of information here is
shared.

Yes, and, just like rigs, there are folks who wouldn't use a forum based
venue for love or money.
I have a mailing list for drake gear, and a web based forum...and over the years
found that some folks like the mailing list, others prefer the forum, but very
few walk "both sides of the street".
I have a very little used forum online at www.zerobeat.net/qrp/phpBB2/
I'd be happy to add an area for Elecraft related posts, but I suspect it
will not be used.
You can find out a LOT of information from this list by visiting
http://www.ac6rm.net/mailarchive/html/elecraft-list/It's searchable.

Yes...and in my experience the folks on this list are some of the most helpful
you'll run across...and that's part of the Elecraft Magic.
