[Elecraft] Make this email list more manageable - a forum instead?

[GRANT YOUNGMAN]

Meh …

I use several forums for a range of topics I have an interest in — ham and not ham — they also have their plusses and minuses.  And I fully agree that conversion to a forum structure will significantly alter the kind of interaction that takes place.

I subscribe to several active reflectors, and don’t feel much sympathy for folks who complain about how difficult  it makes their lives to sort through their inbox from just this ONE ;-)  Most of the time It isn’t very busy on a relative basis :-)

And like other comments, once I have to actually visit a forum because I've shut down the feed on individual messages, or just occasionally visit the archives of a reflector to see what’s been going on, it’s a good sign I’m losing interest and eventually just drop out.
