[Elecraft] Deleting OT

Sat Jun 16 14:40:43 EDT 2018

Since I only own a K1 and a couple of K2s, the vast majority of posts on 
this list are OT to me. A few filters in Thunderbird allow me to see the 
legacy stuff and the OT stuff keeps the Elecraft community together when 
there are no Elecraft specific posts. That helps ensure the Elecraft 
brain trust is there when "on topic" answers are needed.

I am not sure if it is boredom or lack of other outlets that folks believe they can post things that have absolutely nothing to do with Elecraft. For the record, as I have been in the Elecraft dog house before for mentioning this, I am not suggesting what people should post.

I suspect I could switch to individual emails and simply setup a rule to automatically delete anything that starts with OT. Then just delete posts by people that post things unrelated to Elecraft.
