[Elecraft] IMPORTANT - Please keep all postings Cordial

[Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft]

*** IMPORTANT - PLEASE KEEP ALL POSTINGS CORDIAL ***

Restrain the urge to email someone admonishing them about a posting. The last 
thing we want to do is to scare anyone off the list. Overly aggressive postings, 
arguments and negative comments about other posters only serve to scare away new 
potential Elecraft community members.

Waiting over night before hitting 'send' really helps to put things in perspective..

Remember that -everything- you post here is archived and publicly visible for as 
long as the internet exists. Do you really want your friends, employers, kids 
etc. reading what you just posted in anger, foolishness, arrogance etc?

If you have a complaint about someone or a thread please email it directly to me 
( eric at elecraft.com ) and I'll address it.

Please do not post complaints about other postings to the list.

Do not post publicly **or privately** admonishing someone or 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.

Please exercise restraint in posting when a thread is getting heavily covered. 
***10-15 posts on one topic in a day is excessive.***
Please do not vote yay/nay or with 'me too' postings. That only clogs our email 
in-boxes.


Please do not post any direct attacks or snide comments directed at a list 
member. Enthusiastic arguments are encouraged, but please keep everything 
cordial. Members who verbally attack or denigrate another (either via the list 
or via direct email) may be removed from the list.

As the only official list moderator, I'll jump in as necessary to keep 
everything orderly. I do this off line and occasionally to the list when it is 
appropriate.

Our goal is to keep the Elecraft list a fun, relaxed and informative central 
clearing house for Elecraft information and enthusiasm.


Note: There are -no- stupid questions. Please feel free to post your technical 
questions and comments to the list.  (And folks, absolutely do not criticize or 
make snide remarks to posters for their questions either on list or via direct 
email.)

Elecraft owners are your best source for quick answers (and they NEVER sleep!) 
If you don't get the answers you need from the list please email us direct at 
support(at)elecraft.com , which is our customer service address. We do try to 
watch the list traffic, but we may not respond to everything immediately and may 
miss some postings sent to the list or our personal addresses.

73,
Eric
Moderator, COO and occasionally on the air!
