Hi Knut,
Because it relates to problems using our utility software his posting is
certainly pertinent here. We have a lot of users who run our Utility s/w under
Linux and the solution to his problem will help others. Just because you are not
interested in a posting does not mean its inappropriate and does not interest
others on the list. (The delete key is a wonderful tool to quickly eliminate
those you do not wish to read..)
Also, your posting below used the word 'period' at the end is what I referred to
as rude and in essence orders them to take it elsewhere.
"Ths Linux gobbledygook has no place here, period."
It sounds like a parent disciplining a child. Neither a polite nor a respectful
statement to another discussion list member. The last thing we want to do is to
scare others away from asking questions or helping other on the list.
If you have concerns about a posting please feel free to contact the list
moderator and do -not- post them to the list. The moderator is the only list
participant allowed to make any decisions about the appropriateness of a posting
and to contact a poster or post on the list about them.
Whew! - I guess people have been spending way too little time on the air and way
too much time on the internet lately.. ;-) I'm out of time on this topic - so
let's end the discussion for now.

Hi,
I've responded in a direct email to Eric, but maybe it it did not reach the

Hi Eric,
With all respect, I was not by any means rude. How can it be rude to ask
somebody to take take their problems elsewhere where they belong? I do not
think that purely operating systems problems have any place on the reflector
and that goes for Windows, too. Had it it been just one or two postings, I
wouldn't have been annoyed, but this was just going on and on with Linux
jargon forever understood by precious few.

Please do not criticize or be rude to other's for their postings here.
That's
outside of Elecraft list guidelines.
In fact, since this is KX3 Utility related (for the Linux version) their
postings were certainly OK.
