I don't know if you noticed, but older hams are dying of old age. It behooves any ham radio gear company to assist in the process of replacing the older hams who are going silent key, with new, young hams.
No more hams, no reason to make new and better ham radios. If we want Elecraft to continue, then helping figure out how to inspire youths to become hams and maybe buy Elecraft radios MIGHT just be a reasonable thing to talk about. A tad mercantile, but the "pecuniary interest" clause refers to transmissions, not reflector emails. Elecraft is perfectly able to police the topic on their own reflector. They don't need help with that.
