[Elecraft] Waaay OT: A new kind of QRM to be aware of ... warning issued by FCC today

[Dave Cole]

Grant,

All of this topic drift into areas non-Elecraft, (and there is a massive 
amount of it), is a direct result of the moderation efforts Elecraft 
puts into this group.

If the group owners, (Elecraft), wanted things tighter, they would 
moderate more tightly.  If they don't have staff to moderate, then they 
should not worry when things get off topic, which for the most part they 
don't, or close the group.

This style of moderation allows folks to push the limits for short 
periods of time, between moderation events, which is why we get posts 
about everything else.  The longer the time period between moderation 
events, the further topics drift.

This method of moderation almost guarantees topic drift.  I would LOVE 
to see just Elecraft information here, and nothing else...  But not my 
group, so I just delete most non-Elecraft posts.

73, and thanks,
Dave (NK7Z)

That QRM,  more and more often, also bleeds over into other places it doesn’t belong, like what should be apolitical reflectors.  It seems there is no longer anywhere we can get away from someone or some group airing their grievances wherever they are at the slightest provocation.
