Re: [Elecraft] please be considered - postings to the reflector
I seem to remember Eric asking this very same thing only a few days ago. The problem is it is not a normal thing to do and people are fallible - they just don't remember until after they've hit the Send button (if then.) I don't think there is anything you can do about it. Thom and I set up Elecraft message boards at Zerobeat Forums to provide a solution to this issue - separate boards for each Elecraft product. However, it does require a critical mass of people - including those with the answers, as well as the ones with the questions - to join and participate if it is to be actually useful. The message boards are there, the rest is up to the users. -- Julian, G4ILO K2 s/n: 392 K3 s/n: ???

Re: [Elecraft] please be considered - postings to the reflector
Maybe in the future there will be a facility to post from a web page (as per forums) and have a drop down subject box with K1/KX1/K2/K3/whatever. In the mean time, keeping postings at a reasonable level and Elecraft related would help everyone. I feel that spreading the knowledge across several forums is counter productive as it dilutes the knowledge base. 73 Dave, G4AON ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Hmmm, you might have a point thereperhaps ARRL could send bulletins oo a single frequency, only once and using only one mode. THe advantage is that there would be only one place to find the information. 73 - Thom K3HRN Zerobeat Ham Forums: www.zerobeat.net/smf www.tlchost.net/hosting/ Web Hosting as low as 3.49/month ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Re: [Elecraft] please be considered - postings to the reflector
Guess you missed the directive from Wayne/Eric earlier in the week saying the same thing. Sorry...I aplogize to everybody for the QRM than (I hope it is lost in the already high noise floor caused by the K3 shipping status subject)...I guess I did miss it, trying to sort the 30+ emails per day coming from the reflectror just by reading the subject lines... (and I can't read all of the emails the same day btw. so if I miss just a few days than I have well over a hundred emails to soft thru - that's why I politely asked everybody to assist an automated sorting. 73, de Andrey, AE1Z ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

[Elecraft] please be considered - postings to the reflector
Guys, I would like to ask everybody to be a little bit considered when starting new threads on the reflector! Please use a convention which would allow for automatic sorting of the emails by the email client - it is very easy and it doesn't require much effort! For instance, please insert in the beginning of your email subject line the elecraft product which is actually the subject of the thread. Something like this: K2 - Question about the IF amp alignment or K3 - shipping dates? or K2, K3 : Performance comparison This will help everybody to organize hundreds of emails per day coming from this reflector. Please understand - there are many people out there that are interested only in a specific product and it is very hard to manually sort thru all of the emails. With the release of the K3 the reflector became very busy but not everybody is interested in K3 (for instance I have no interest whatsoever in the K3 but I would like to read all of the K2 posts, the XV posts, KAT/KPA, etc). If everybody is using such Subject line convention it would be very easy to setup email rules so for instance all of the emails regarding K2 are moved to the corresponding K2 folder and all of the K3 post are moved to the K3 folder or Trash folder, the XV posts will go to the XV folder, etc. I am sure everybody will benefit from a little bit more organized traffic on the refflector. Thanks in advance! 73 de Andrey, AE1Z ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list. Subscriber Info (Addr.
