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

[Jim Sheldon]

Ken,
Exactly as Gwen Patton said, CONTACT list fine as my email address is 
also on QRZ but if you are starting a reflector.  Do NOT put my email 
address in automatically.  IF I don't have the prerogative to OPT-OUT, I 
want no part of it.

Jim, W0EB
