[Elecraft] Do we need 2 groups?

[Eric Swartz WA6HHQ - Elecraft]

Gentlemen,

As per the list guidelines and in the interest of keeping list traffic reasonable, please avoid discussing list requests, splitting lists etc on the list. Emailing the moderator is always OK though. :-)

We -are- planning on setting up a parallel Elecraft announcement only list in the near future. Stay tuned.

73,

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.
