[Elecraft] Purpose of this group

[David Gilbert]

I think you are mostly correct, although there are valid correlated 
topics when trying to assist an Elecraft user with a problem, but the 
number of replies you've gotten thus far expressing interest and support 
for off topic threads indicates that there are folks here who don't 
understand that Eric and Wayne have to wade through all that crap in 
their effort to be responsive to their customer base. They moderate for 
a valid reason.

It always seems to be the same folks who think that their off-topic 
comments belong here.  The very fact that they label it OT clearly shows 
they understand they are abusing the published reflector guidelines, yet 
they have the
arrogance to do so anyway.  It boggles my mind.
