I think the whole reflector became too "heavy" with the introduction of the
K3. It is difficult for me to keep track of what's going on, especially
given the fact that I have no interest in K3 at this point. Eric and Wayne
stated numerous times that they like to keep "the momentum" and don't want
to split the reflector into different products but it is going to get even
worse, once the amplifiers come to the scene. Now I have to sort thru
hundreds of posts each month just to read only those posted about the K2.
If a specific word like the product name is included in the subject line I
can have my mail client sort the mails for me into different mailboxes. For
instance all the mails regarding K2 could start with "K2" in the subject,
same for K3, etc. Then how do you make thousands of users to follow such
naming convention?

Subject: Re: [Elecraft] How do I unsubscribe?
James,
Instead of unsubscribing altogether you could open a free GMail
account and change your subscription to that address. That way you
won't fill up your local mailbox with reflector messages. GMail has a
clever filtering system that allows you to select any messages based
on their content. I use it to highlight K3 related postings and
anything from Wayne or Eric, so I can ignore the rest.
I am one of the folks who in the past has suggested a web forum with
sub-boards for each Elecraft product (plus a general topic for the
off-topic chatter.) But there has been so much resistance to the idea
(not least from Elecraft themselves) that I don't think it will ever
happen. Although I predict the situation will get worse when the K3s
actually ship and we all start posting "Hooray, it's here" followed by
"How do you do this?" and then "Wow, what a great radio!"

Hello,
I would like to know how to unsubscribe to this list. With easily well
over 100 emails average per day from this mailing list I find myself
deleting 99 percent of it (unless I have a problem with my K2.. but
it's been flawless for a long time now). This reflector is a great
resource for repairs, advice and seeking help but lately I have seen
more ratings, opinions and reviews of equipment which if I want to
see.. I'll go find it for myself. Someone suggested a while back moving
to a forum based system to ease the amount of email flowing in the
inbox and would allow you to go look at items that only interest you (I
have a K2 and some mini-modules..). I think it's a great idea to move
to a forum based system but that's only my opinion..and opinions are
like.. well you know the rest. I get far too many emails a day and just
find myself having to maintain my inbox by deleting all the elecraft
mails. Often if I don't check my mailbox for a few days I find hundreds
upon hundreds of elecraft emails to go through. Unfortunately I still
use crappy AOL for my email so I can't use it with outlook that has
nice sorting features. That would make deleting the emails even easier
(sorry, I just don't have time to go through 100+ emails a day. It's
overwhelming at this point. I'm sorry, but I have to leave this mailing
list.
Any information how to remove myself from the list would be greatly
appreciated.
73,
James KB2FCV
