[Elecraft] Reflector change?

[Kevin der Kinderen]

You can't get a group of hams together and not sway from the topic.
Impossible. And people will live happier lives if they understand this.
Hams talk, talk, talk and talk. Even their salutations after a good QSO can
drag on because they don't want to stop talking. Personally, I think that's
a good thing. It's a natural fit.

I could live with either this mail list or with a bulletin board type forum
with "categories" but really, this is good enough for me. With categories I
would have to read multiple sections to get in on all the action.

I do wish there was a way to easily move off the list for long, drawn out
or off topic discussions and in fact I kind of think there is. An air
conditioning conversation started out on this thread and moved off to a
small group sharing information by email. Turns out it is a very useful
conversation. Once you're on that list of people interested in a particular
subject it is kind of hard to get out of it because everyone would have to
remove you from their reply. One person doesn't and you're right back in
the conversation. But still a solution for this list.

It does get rough sometimes but when I start seeing a long thread that
doesn't interest me I just keep in mind... it obviously interests someone
else and I shouldn't try to shut them down (see below). I'm not the
moderator and really, I don't like rules that much anyway.

Apologies... I've added snarky comments to long, OT threads in the past.
Not good. Sorry.
