[Elecraft] [OT] Maintaining Sanity with Filters

[Nr4c]

Interesting subject. I don't seem to have trouble with the "filters" in my K3S. So I just deleted this thread. Now I see it is about "email filters". Duh, who knew?

A more descriptive subject might have drawn me in. This is something I might be interested in
