I have a good, cheap email application called Forte' Agent. What I like most about it is that I can design filters that either destroy or accept emails based on filters that I can make. It usually works very well, but this list has mutated into a very hard to filter list.
In fact most email applications have that feature. The solution I propose is that each subject line that is a true Elecraft product post begin with the name of the Elecraft product in question. Here are some examples: K3, K3S, P3, KPA500, KAT500, K2, KRC2, KX3 or whatever. If those of you who only want to talk about Elecraft products would do that it would be easy to filter out off topic subjects, even if you did it by hand. The trouble with adding "On-Topic" is that it doesn't specify which product. For instance: I'm not interested in K2 or KX3 topics, because I don't own either of them and I am not considering buying one of the two (at this time), but I AM interested in the products I own and plan to own in the future. What say those of you who are tired of off topic posts?
