Re: [Elecraft] List overload - It's actually not good for Elecraft's business.

2017-05-28 Thread David Gow
As a relatively new owner of an Elecraft KX3  and all related accessories
this list has been of immense help to me.  It is far more interesting and
well behaved than some other ham lists I read.  When I did sell an Elecraft
manufactured accessory it sold in one hour.at my stated fair price  and I
felt good about not selling it on a n auction site.

Wow ... somebody writing an off topic post (it had nothing to do with 
Elecraft products) to complain about off topic posts.  Talk about 
dripping with irony.

Besides, it is a trivial exercise to speed read through the topic 
headers and delete the messages you don't want to see.  I mean really 
trivial.  I can scan through well over 100 messages messages per day

accessories, which were designed for Elecraft products, etc., are not

2017-05-27 Thread Lynn W. Taylor, WB6UUT
There is an absolutely wonderful tool called PopFile that sits between 
your mail client and your mail server, reads all your incoming mail and 
classifies it.


You set up folders, call them K3S or KX3 or Antennas or QRM, and you 
start clicking on messages and telling PopFile "this is Antennas" or 
"This is QRM" and after the first half-dozen are classified, you only 
click on "errors."


You don't even have to know why QRM is QRM.

I respectfully submit that those who think this (relatively quiet and 
fairly tame) list is a problem spend a little time with PopFile.

'Face in the crowd"? Are you serious? Take a look around... Elecraft is a
humble operation that strives to make a quality product at affordable price.

Never had a sip of the kool-aid, just a content customer.

Good luck with your search.

The list is pretty much turning into a captive audience for some tohawk their 
wares and for others it has become a bit of a soap boxdroning on about off 
topic subjects for far longer than they need to be.
It's one thing to post a short for sale and respond off list for a personal 
sale.
But some selling commercially are using this list as a captive audience.
(I tend to view them pretty much the same as I do any other spammer.)
What has happened with me before (and about to do the same) is I just 
unsubscribefrom the list completely and only very occasionally visit the 
Elecraft web page.
Sadly that inadvertently turns into me just taking my business elsewhere.
When I'm looking for a project or a new toy Elecraft falls into being
just one more face in the crowd instead of being at the top of the list.
So I wind up spending my money elsewhere and then when I finallydo look at 
Elecrafts page and see a new toy I don't buy it becauseI've already gotten a 
new toy from another vendor.
