[Elecraft] List of tips

[Don Wilhelm]

Thom,

It is unrealistic to expect those who are busy paying attention to the 
progress of fixes to monitor every list of 'problems' that might be put 
into public places on the internet.  IMHO, those who want to create and 
publish such lists have a responsibility to take on the task of 
monitoring for fixes and keeping the list current - they must not depend 
on others to tell them when the list content is out of date.   There are 
many similar out-of-date lists in cyberspace for many products, and I am 
certain I have only encountered a few of them - when I find 
mis-information in a list like that, I tend to ignore the entire list 
because I know it contains errors and is therefore invalid.

73,
