[Elecraft] Limit topics in email

Absolutely, some things carry over from the 20th Century because they 
work. There are 21st Century applications that make email lists work 
even better. Like many here, I filter with Thunderbird. It would work 
better if everyone used a [product tag] in the Subject line, but it 
isn't onerous as it is.

The mailbox analogy is a good one. Forums are necessary with a large 
community with a wide number of interests. But not for a relatively 
focused group like Elecraft.

I'm only posting as this thread is becoming a de facto poll. My choice 
would be to leave the list alone.
