Thank God for the ever humble CW ops I enjoy bumping into both here on the Elecraft reflector and on the CW/QRP portions of the band. I can't think of a single inconsiderate CW op I've worked in the last 3 years since I've been active with my K2. My wife also often peeks at my notebook (or laptop)

I agaree with all of this, except having the new text below the previous remarks. It's much easier, IMHO, to use reverse chronical order. You see the most recent and relevant post first, then if you want to see the background and earlier comments you read backwards through the posts. With

Sorry OM, There are many messages here on the reflector each day, and in total I likely review over 100 messages a day from various sources. While I try to look at each message and prepare an intelligent response, I am unable to take the time to scroll down, find the proper tic-marks indicating
