Indeed, this forum could be placed in moderate mode by Elecraft and they can censor, reject, and even modify a posting, without any needed cause -- just per their whim!  The subscribers are not protected by the first amendment in this situation.  Actually, technically I think the freedom of speech only applies to grievances and protestations against the federal government but that is left to the constitutional lawyers to wrangle.

Respectively I'm asking how would I learn about this problem with our bandwidth being threatened if I did not get it here. This is the only list I subscribe to. I agree with all the posters above me this is critical to the future of CW and Especially the future of CW in relation to the KX3
