[Elecraft] With the K4 coming, is it time to replace this email list with a forum?

[Phil Hystad]

If there were an alternative to e-mail for the kind of dialog that takes place
on this e-mail reflector I think the style and format, along with operating rules,
of the Stack Exchange forums would be a great fit.

Now, I don’t think Stack Exchange would allow a vendor directed forum and
there is already a Ham Radio forum which is not that good in my opinion but
the way the software works, the organization, the division of posted questions with
answers and the voting to rank answers (and even questions) is very good.  Each
forum also has a chat mode for back & forth dribble that might come up now and
then.  

If you have not visited a stack exchange forum, consider some of the following
which I list merely because these are some I follow.

https://physics.stackexchange.com <https://physics.stackexchange.com/>

https://ham.stackexchange.com <https://ham.stackexchange.com/>

https://math.stackexchange.com <https://math.stackexchange.com/>

And, this last link is a sort of directory of available SE topic areas:

https://stackexchange.com/sites <https://stackexchange.com/sites>
