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

[Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft]

I apologize for not replying to this topic earlier. I was off email for a large 
part of the weekend. :-)

While we appreciate the interest in switching the Elecraft List to a forum 
format, we can not watch all the topics in a multi topic forum. If there are web 
forum topics for every product we make, along with other topics, it will quickly 
be impossible for us to read and participate in all of them.  Also, we've 
observed that when lists like ours fragment into a multi-topic forum, they 
quickly lose the sense of community that we have here.  For those reasons we 
have always chosen to retain the list email format for the Elecraft list.

As noted before, for those that prefer a searchable web based display of this 
list threaded by topic or in calendar date order, the Nabble web based real-time 
archive of the Elecraft list does an excellent job of providing a web based 
searchable and organized copy of this list. This addresses the 'forum' style 
need of most readers.

Many of our users use the Nabble web interface as their primary method of 
reading the Elecraft list.

Let's end this periodically recurring thread at this time.

73,
Eric
