I'm glad Elecraft users have other interests and
all of the topics you mention below have some
relevance to Elecraft and ham radio; one was even
started by one of the Elecraft founders. Your
definition of "On Topic" is a tad narrow :-)
OTOH some of those threads did go on a bit long.
On Computers in the Stone Age I fully expected to
eventually hear from the inventor of the Abacus or
the stone tablet!

I created an Elecraft folder under my Inbox,
and set an Elecraft
filter to put all email with "[Elecraft]" in
the subject line
into that Elecraft folder.
That was an excellent suggestion Don! I just
implemented it here
under Windows Live Mail.
For some reason, this reflector has an
inordinate number of
off-topic posts. I guess the moderators
(Elecraft crew) don't
want to alienate their customers by clamping
down too quickly on
the OT posters, so people get carried away.
Here are some OT
threads, just from just the last two weeks:
Learning Morse Code - 24 emails
Computers in the Stone Age - 40 emails
64 vs. 32 Bit Linux Utilities - 20 emails
CW in 15 Meter Novice Band - 14 emails
Antenna Choices - 16 emails
4 Meter Band - started ok, but then went way off
- 22 emails
E-Mail Spam Increase - 8 emails
PS2 is Dead - 12 emails
U.S Signal Corps Rhombic Book - 5 emails
That's over 160 off-topic emails in a two week
period.
We should all be more disciplined in posting
things here, or
maybe the Elecraft guys can appoint an
independent moderator.
When the reflector gets flooded with off-topic
posts, the
signal-to-noise ratio gets so degraded that it
becomes easy to
miss a good on-topic post.
