[Elecraft] Proposed On-topic indication.

[Thomas Schaefer]

Thank you for posting that. I am at fault…

The guidelines state: 5a. Please -do not- post publicly or privately asking people to stop a particular thread, no matter how long, off topic or repetitive it gets. Email me instead ;-) . I will step in when I feel it is necessary to end a thread. (eric(at)elecraft.com)

I took the opportunity to inject some Internet etiquette and that is clearly against the wishes of the list owner as I did exactly what he asked not to do.

As I disagree with that, it’s best for me to extricate myself and use the Yahoo Elecraft list instead.

Best wishes to you all.
