[Elecraft] This list (K3)

[Tom McCulloch]

I'm not sure if this is a thread about K3 complaints or mailboxes being 
filled with irrelevant K3 stuff.  The reason I don't know is that I don't 
own a K3 and all of the posts about K3's are irrelevant *to me*.

Once again, I belief one of the guidelines for posting here request that we 
all place something in the subject line ( "K3" in this example) which would 
indicate that the post relates to something that would not be of interest to 
ALL Elecraft users.  This way the filtering programs could do there thing 
and separate those e-mails which the individual reader is not interested in.

When the K2 came out this wasn't much of an issue.  Then when the K1 and 
others followed it became necessary.

Thanks
