Relavence is quite subjective but since we still live in an open society, I use a simple formula. Elecraft=ham radio so ham radio=acceptable subject matter. Then there are the forum cops who actually call for threads to be closed if THEY aren't interested in the subject matter rather than just hitting the delete button. The digital version of QSYing. I personally would be willing to pay Wayne and Eric a small stipend to help defray the associated storage cost, if that's an issue, in order to gain a little subjective elbow room.
