[Elecraft] Do we need 2 groups?

[ejkkjh at gmail.com]

I have asked Elecraft a couple times to create an email list for official 
announcements from them, like new firmware releases, new products, technical 
info releases, etc.  Lots of companies have similar email lists for product 
announcements etc. , where only Elecraft would send emails. The only reason 
I am part of this list is to receive info from Elecraft, not to be part of a 
ham radio chat list, like this list is now.  I belong to approximately 20 
email lists relating to ham radio, this list by far, has many more off topic 
posts than all the others combined.  So in my experience this is not the 
norm for off topic posts.
A good example is nearly 40 posts over last couple days about RF in trees. 
So I have lots of Elecraft gear and I have lots of trees, so it must be 
relevant......

It is clear that the members of this group are amazingly social and love
their product.

However, I am concerned that the off topic (but valid) dialogues get away
from the actual charter of the original group and the the fact that
Elecraft staff are part of this group.

Why not have someone clone this group for those off topic conversations and
then everyone is happy and we aren't clouding the technical conversations
that are directly related to the product.
