[Elecraft] FW: Elecraft Equipment chat group

[Jerry Moore]

I'd suggest taking this off list directly to the list mods. 
While your opinions are important; the community in it's entirety is
governed by Elecraft. Complaining to the list only results in a flurry of
'me too' or 'not me' posts that further exacerbate the issue.
On the air we ignore people that disrupt communications or otherwise break
the rules. 
I'd suggest we take the same action on the list and internet at large. 
Experience being a good teacher; we know that there are people who derive
enjoyment from causing drama and getting folks spun up.
Sometimes you just have to get away from the keyboard and go outside. 
Jer

It is getting out of hand.

We just had about 50 emails on RACES and MARS.  Even Eric told everyone to
shut it down as a moderator, yet everyone ignored him.  It seems (and I
haven't measured) that we are 50/50 off topic to on topic.

For those that would prefer to stay try to Elecraft equipment discussions,
it looks like I will be starting another group.  I'll let those interested
where it will be hosted by tomorrow.

For those that are not interested, that is fine.  No pressure here, just
trying to solve a problem.

What you may not realize, when Wayne and Eric are moderating emails, they
aren't working on Elecraft products and driving Elecraft forward.  This
would give them more time to do that.
