[Elecraft] New Elecraft Message Board? [End of Thread]

[Don Wilhelm]

Folks,

I just returned from a couple days unexpected stay at the hospital, so I 
hope Eric will excuse this one (hopefully) last post on this subject -

When I returned, all 144 of the [Elecraft] messages were lined up in the 
proper folder, and it took me about 20 minutes to scan through them all 
(I did read most of them), I sorted out 4 that I will respond to and 
deleted many that were of no further interest.  I could not do that as 
quickly or efficiently on any web-based forum that I have worked with.

I do contribute to this list frequently, and if it ever goes web-based, 
my contributions will likely become more scarce is about all I can say 
about it.

Thank you Eric for keeping this list in a format I can handle as I chose 
to, rather than having some web designer who 'thinks' he knows how I 
should best handle the resulting traffic.

73,
Don W3FPR
