[Elecraft] please be considered - postings to the reflector

[Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft]

Guys,

Julian is correct, please place [K3], [K2] etc. as the first item on 
your subject lines for ALL rig/product specific postings from now on.

We are -extremely- busy focusing on K3 shipments etc. After the dust 
clears (withing the next month or so) we'll revisit the reflector/web 
page/forum organization issues. Of course we want to make it as easy as 
possible for everyone to get the information they need. :-)

In the mean time, please also remember that this list is our primary 
method of both getting feedback from customers and for communicating 
with you. We occasionally look at and post to some of the other forums 
out there, but we can not monitor them or respond to all questions 
posted on those lists. We need a single place to focus on, and that's 
the primary reason for the current email list structure. Proliferating 
more parallel forums only serves to fragment the Elecraft community and 
to make it impossible for us to easily communicate with everyone.

Lastly, we DO have a web readable version of this list that allows you 
to just peruse the subject lines and to click on the ones you wish to 
read. ( http://www.elecraft.com/elist.html ) If you wish to read the 
list in that manner, and still stay subscribed so you can post, just set 
your email options to 'no mail delivery' on your personal Elecraft list 
preferences page. Go to 
http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft  and scroll to the 
bottom of that page. The last option asks you to enter your subscribed 
list email address and click on 'edit options'.

Please be patient with us, we'll be working with everyone to simplify 
things here as soon as we can catch or breath. (You do want us to focus 
on getting your K3s to you, don't you?  ;-)

73,  Eric   WA6HHQ
