[Elecraft] List overload - It's actually not good for Elecraft's business.

[Harry Yingst]

The list is pretty much turning into a captive audience for some tohawk their wares and for others it has become a bit of a soap boxdroning on about off topic subjects for far longer than they need to be.
It's one thing to post a short for sale and respond off list for a personal sale.
But some selling commercially are using this list as a captive audience.
(I tend to view them pretty much the same as I do any other spammer.)
What has happened with me before (and about to do the same) is I just unsubscribefrom the list completely and only very occasionally visit the Elecraft web page.
Sadly that inadvertently turns into me just taking my business elsewhere.
When I'm looking for a project or a new toy Elecraft falls into being
just one more face in the crowd instead of being at the top of the list.
So I wind up spending my money elsewhere and then when I finallydo look at Elecrafts page and see a new toy I don't buy it becauseI've already gotten a new toy from another vendor.
