I don't think it's possible to find a solution that suits both
experienced users with powerful email programs who know how to set up
filters to organize messages how they want, and those who just have
everything end up in their inbox and who fret over the pennies it
costs them to download posts that are off-topic or of no interest.
The list archives would be an excellent tool for those who just want
to follow specific threads of interest, but they waste way to much
space displaying completely irrelevant header information, so you have
to scroll down to read the actual text, and there is no easy way to
send an in-context reply to a post.
I see that Michael W2CVZ has echoed my suggestion of using Gmail as a
dedicated account for Elecraft messages. It's free and it works great.
But I guess there may still be some who won't use a web based reader
because they pay for net access by the minute. I sympathize with those
people but I don't think the answer is strict moderation because this
is not just an Elecraft support group but also a *community* and it is
inevitable that people will now and again want to discuss things with
fellow members that are not strictly about using or fixing Elecraft
products.
