Because it was decided to temporarily switch the list "reply to
sender", I used my e-mail program to "reply all" in order for this to
get to the AMRADIO list. This temporary change was actually a
mistake as this reply not only goes to the list, but to 4 others also.
It is also clear that a few on here still don't understand how group
lists and e-mails work.
First of all, this is a DISCUSSION list. Someone posts a question or
comment, everyone reads it (if they want to; I know I don't read them
all), and then the replies to the original post is sent out to
everyone interested in the discussion...as it should be.
Every once in a while (unless you are Brian Carling) someone will
post a for sale message to the group. If you are interested, take
the extra second to send a private reply. If this is a difficult
concept to understand, then don't respond to "for sale" messages or
send an e-mail to...

If you know how to properly load up a BA, you should be able to reply
to a simple e-mail!
Keep the replies to the LIST! If someone has a problem with sending
replies to the "for sale" messages, put them on MODERATED status. If
you need help moderating the group, set up a few moderators! Albeit,
this QTH.NET list is not a robust as a YahooGroup list when it comes
to moderators.
I own a few lists, including a few on QTH.NET. Its not difficult to
moderate these lists.
Since I have the mic, you should post your replies to the TOP of your
reply. I've already read the other messages and don't need to scroll
through 100 lines in order to read your, "I agree" post! Also, learn
how to edit your posts and edit the subject line if you intend to
hijack a thread!
Now, if this was a BROADCAST or NEWS list, then that would be a
different matter and replies should hit the bit bucket instead of the
list or sender.
Again, this is a DISCUSSION list. It wasn't broken and it's too bad
it got changed...if only for a short time.
With all that being said, a HUGE Thank You to the list owner for this
list! I KNOW what it takes to manage a list! I appreciate this list
and got my DX-100 due to a "for sale" message on here!
Brian, I don't have a problem with the amount of FOR SALE items you
post on here and other places, but you have to admit, it has all the
signs of a side business! :-)
