[Elecraft] How to Convert Individ. Email Status to Digest?

[Phil Wheeler]

I'm glad Elecraft users have other interests and 
all of the topics you mention below have some 
relevance to Elecraft and ham radio; one was even 
started by one of the Elecraft founders. Your 
definition of "On Topic" is a tad narrow :-)

OTOH some of those threads did go on a bit long. 
On Computers in the Stone Age I fully expected to 
eventually hear from the inventor of the Abacus or 
the stone tablet!
