This is Elecraft's forum and they have the ultimate switch on these things. Having said that, just to straighten up an injustice here....
Name and call sign is not personal information, it is a matter of public record There is no expectation of anonymity on this reflector. This IS a HAM reflector, and name/callsign in the usual places is appreciated, and usually done without any thought. Those who don't add name and callsign simply stand out by the omission. It does not take much research in the archives to see that a lot of anonymous posts are trolls, which is why it grinds on so many. There ARE what amount to technical arguments here, but the players all have names and callsigns, and after a while perhaps there are familiar takes on a given individual. People are who they are. Nothing to hide. Someone called Don (W3FPR) rude. Shows what they know. There is not a rude bone in Don's body, and even if there were, he probably has the all-time record for nearly perfect technical assistance and no one on the reflector (including the Elecraft principals added together) has his online time helping reflectorees. Beyond that he has an almost insane patience with individuals in situations that to me scream RTFM. If you somehow HAVE managed to get Don riled, you ARE over the line. He should not have to defend himself. My name is Guy, my call sign is K2AV, and if you don't like what I've said you can tell ME about it without wondering who I really am. 73 all On Sun, Apr 18, 2010 at 9:51 AM, lstavenhagen <lstavenha...@hotmail.com> wrote: > > It doesn't matter - it's 100% improper to post personal information "for" > someone else, even if that information is obtainable elsewhere.
