[Elecraft] Posting rejection and other facts of life

[Kevin Rock]

A few of my net reports have been kicked out of the system.  There are 
certain words which one should not use since they appear "Spam like".  The 
one both Julian and I used which is on the list is buy.  I asked Eric 
about the list so I could avoid using the proscribed words but he told me 
he did not have access to it.  The list is further up the chain than him.  
Once I reworded my sentence to avoid the word buy the net report went 
through just fine.
    73,
       Kevin.  KD5ONS

P.S.  Buy needs to be in association with some other word (which I have 
forgotten).
