Sadly, The KX3 Yahoo group has taken a very bad turn. It was originally started, when the KX3 was initially announced, by a very responsible group owner who had a very lenient moderation policy. Unfortunately, he has turned the day-to-day operation over to two other moderators that prefer to remain anonymous. They have instituted a Draconian zero-tolerance policy of any mention of either commercial products, or links to any other resource pages. They claim to want all KX3 related material to be copied to the Yahoo Group, rather than links to other sites. This is unworkable, as only those who actually own the information can post it there. It also make maintenance of updates unworkable. For instance, I posted a link to a website that was still maintaining an archive copy of NaP3 software (N8LP), after development of NaP3 ceased. For this, I was placed on moderation (unannounced and unexplained). Unfortunately, the implementation of these new policies has resulted in the banishment of many, often without explanation. Sad to say, this once very useful Group is now much less so.
