[Elecraft] Official List Policy: Please limit OT postings and replies

As evidenced by the very large number of recent OT postings, and by the flood of 
complaints to my email box, we are overloading the vast majority of Elecraft 
list readers, who primarily are interested in directly Elecraft related topics, 
with OT email.


Official New List Policy:

In the future, in the interest of keeping list traffic focused primarily on 
Elecraft products and issues for the majority of our readers, please -strongly- 
resist the urge to reply to an OT topic once it has gone to 5 posts. Once it 
hits ten posts do not reply at all (go off list if you feel the urge to 
continue.) Also, please do not try to always get the 'last word'.

If we see a lot of OT threads hitting the ten posting hard limit we'll be forced 
to reduce this to 5 posts as a -hard- limit.

In general, a few OT posts on not Elecraft ham radio topics are welcomed, but 
longer non-Elecraft threads should be conducted elsewhere. The majority of the 
subscribers prefer to see the vast majority of traffic on this reflector more 
directly Elecraft product related. (Questions, reports on use, problems, product 
announcements etc. )

73,
