[Elecraft] Elecraft Digest, Vol 120, Issue 68

[Dauer, Edward]

Thanks, Eric; I had been hoping this would be policed and a reminder
issued.  I had no part in the discussion; but I must say that it was in
some ways and on some contributors'  parts a disappointing conversation.
The problem is not simply that it takes up space and time, but more
importantly that invective and discourtesy, some of which we saw over the
last few days, could be a disincentive for someone with a valid question
but a thinner skin from posting their query lest they be heaped on as
well.  (I am not talking about me; as a lawyer I deal with testy dialogue
daily - in setting where contentiousness is the name of the game.)  Such
disincentive would be an unfortunate loss for a reflector which I have
found, the other 98% of the time, to be a source of help, understanding,
and even camaraderie.




Ted, KN1CBR
