[Elecraft] A kinder, gentler list.....

[Lynn W. Taylor, WB6UUT]

Seems that over the last couple of weeks, things on the list have become 
a bit more contentious than they really need to be.

We're all passionate about our hobbies, and we're pretty passionate 
about our gear.

I don't know of another company who constantly improves their existing 
products, or engages their customers so directly.

When our passion overflows, we stray from discussing the technical and 
start getting personal -- attacking the person, instead of the ideas.

Trouble is, the ideas get lost in the personal attacks, and it's the 
ideas that are important, folks.

It's not fun to watch someone get publicly chastised just because one 
person has an idea and someone else does not like it.

I suspect that's why we've seen a flurry of "please remove me from this 
list" messages.

I love a spirited technical argument, but I hate arguing for the sake of 
arguing.

So, speaking solely for myself, can we take it down a notch or two?

Thanks and 73 -- Lynn
