Folks,
I just returned from a couple days unexpected stay at the hospital, so I
hope Eric will excuse this one (hopefully) last post on this subject -
When I returned, all 144 of the [Elecraft] messages were lined up in the
proper folder, and it took me about 20 minutes to scan through them a

Sorry for the multiple post. I'm fighting Earthlink
this week, in upstate NY - awaiting roadrunner.
Earthlink dies and stalls, by the hour.
This MESSAGE BOARD list topic should be killed.
I imagine that no one really manages this self
perpetuating email REFLECTOR list, it just runs
itself. I've

Apologies. That last, untrimmed, reply from me was not intended for the
entire mailing list.
Is there any reason that someone outside Elecraft couldn't set up a
"forum" that was gatewayed in and out of the mailing list?

Well put, sir.
As far as forums being being "up-to-date", forums were available to the general
public before email was. And they've not gotten a lot better, either.

Ahh - I see this was more about changing the list to a message board
format.
We also will be keeping the list email based. As several have mentioned
before, it is very easy to set up your email client program to filter
individual messages to separate folders based on words in the subject
line
Guys - I apologize for not stepping in earlier. I was out of town this
weekend. ( It seems every time I'm out a new thread explodes.. ;-)
We are not splitting the list. It would be impossible for us to
participate in multiple lists, and to be honest, it would just make it
confusing for someone
If it's to change, I don't want to see any advertising

Enough already everyone, this has been hashed over before and even myself
