[Elecraft] I'm building a personal email list....

[Gwen Patton]

I'm confused. Do you mean a personal CONTACT list, or a mailing list like
the Elecraft reflector?

If it's the former, I don't mind if you associate my address with, say, my
call sign, so you can contact me if you need to. That's because you could
look me up on QRZ and find my email address. It's no big deal.

But if you mean a REFLECTOR, including me in mass mailings, then I'll have
to say no, thank you. If you want to have a reflector of your own, I
strongly suggest that you make it opt-in, not opt-OUT. I get hundreds
of emails a day, and need to choose the reflectors I subscribe to very
carefully.

So if you just mean your contact list in your email program, I don't see
any harm in it. But please don't jam-cram me into an email reflector. I
would prefer being told about what it might offer, and make the informed
choice to join it or not. I hope you will understand.
