Congratulations.  I think you'll enjoy it.  I sure like mine.

I wish.  I too, am only here for the KPA and there has been TONS of traffic on
everything else and little on the KPA.  I guess that's a good thing, but if
you're like me, you'll be tossing out more than 90% of what comes in from this
list because of the other traffic.

I wish there was a filter on the list that you could set for the topics you are
interested in.  It would really be nicer.  Many times, I get up in the morning
and find 65 or more incoming from all of my groups and this list.  After killing
the non-KPA traffic, I'm down to 5-15 from all groups combined and nothing
related to our amp.  Get used to it!  :o)

All that said, I do read much of it anyway, and I am surprised just how much
trouble there is here that is very similar to what other groups report with
their equipment.

Also, be aware that this list, unlike most groups, will automatically reply to
only the original sender.  It will not go to the group.  You'll have to manually
change the To: field back to the list address.
