[Elecraft] A helpful review...

[Kevin Stover]

Exactly.

How do you suppose the readers of other manufacturers mail list/forums 
would react if they had to deal with Elecraft advertisements all the 
times? Not well I assure you.

I always thought this mail list was for owners of Elecraft gear or 
potential owners of Elecraft gear to congregate and talk about their 
Elecraft gear, their experiences using it and if needs be some advice in 
repairing/configuring same. The advertisements are happening way to 
often now.

Instead of telling me to delete the posts how about telling the 
IcoYaeKen fan boys to post their troll advertisements on their own 
list/forum?
