[Elecraft] Other groups [was: K4 shipping info]

[Alan - G4GNX]

Hi Doug.

No forgiveness is required, no offense taken. Each to their own. :-)

What II will say about groups in general is that by anyone not 
subscribing to a group which caters for a subject they're interested in, 
may miss out in snippets of information that they'd like to have had.

Groups are usually free to join, so there's no money downside from that 
point of view. The major downside of multiple groups is the possible 
amount of traffic. I cope with this by using an initial text-only email 
client, where I see the subject line and sender's address. I can also 
read some of the body text if I wish. Anything not of interest is marked 
for deletion and is removed when the email client 'hands over' to the 
main email client. It's quick and easy, but maybe not for everyone, but 
by doing it that way, I can belong to several similar groups, not miss 
anything and cope with traffic that doesn't concern me.

Being a member of several groups allows me to compartmentalise my 
interest in multiple products from the same source.

Not trying to 'push' an agenda. Just my personal point of view.

73,

Alan. G4GNX
