I understand, Don. People get used to certain things and stick with them.
By the way, all forums have the ability to email you all responses to the

I also heartily dislike the clumsy hard to follow un-threaded forum format. I
am a member of a number of forums, but only because they don't offer mailing
lists.

as easy to read and write and filter as e-mail which has ultimate flexibility.

E-mail is not a relic, it is a survivor.
Back in the 1980's, I managed 50+ internal discussion groups for HP, along with
maintaining the threaded notesfiles newsreader software. I've also managed
large mailing lists, and a largish web forum for a product. The webforum was

Absolutely, some things carry over from the 20th Century because they

Hi,
2 years ago I have subscribed to the KX3 thread only : I agree that the

Good answers all, but it's the part in the subscription page that isn't
really working. I think if that were implemented, then I could simply
subscribe to the KX3 thread and be done with it. If not, then I'll probably
just unsubscribve to it all and check manually.
Thanks

There are times when I wish the Elecraft list was by model (and not just
one big list) and then there are times when I learn things that apply to
my KX3 that would never have been posted to a KX3 list.

It is customary on this list to begin your subject with the model of
Elecraft product(s) you are writing about. Many but not everyone does that.
Most email clients provide for filters that allow you to identify
messages by the subject, who they are from, and words in the body, and
then take
This is the answer.
Of course it requires that people correctly fill in the subject line.
More and more people are having trouble with that or just don't care.
