Thanks for the interesting discussion, everyone. This issue has come up
before, and we've concluded that creating separate lists might drain
energy from what is at present a lively and diverse forum. We've
achieved the critical mass needed to sustain community, and we'd hate
to lose it. Of course if participation suddenly jumped by a factor of
five, we might have to do some partitioning. All of the arguments made
so far (e.g., per-rig lists) would be taken into consideration at that
point.
Meanwhile, those who want to screen what they read can select one of
the alternatives to getting every posting as e-mail. You can get a
daily digest, or read selected postings via the web.
We do have one separate list called "Elecraft-Announce" that you can
find on www.qth.net, right next to our regular list. We post
new-product announcements, firmware upgrades, builder alerts, etc. on
this list, as well as on the regular list. (I think we could be a
little more diligent about it, and I'll remind our staff about this.)
So, if you wanted to keep up with what's new without participating in
the "big" discussion, you could subscribe only to Elecraft-Announce.
I suppose we could create a recursive list exclusively for the
discussion of how many lists to create ;)
