Well, there are lots of folks who think their off-topic post is clever enough or important enough to justify it, so self control isn't likely to be very effective. The most effective way to combat off topic posts would be for others on the list to gently remind offenders, but Wayne/Eric have repeatedly (and understandably) made that against the list guidelines in an obvious effort to avoid confrontations ... many of which would likely occur due to differences of opinion on what is actually off topic.
Besides, I use the off topic posts to calibrate me relative to the sender. The same ones generate most of it, and I just delete all their posts as being unlikely to be insightful no matter what the subject is. It actually sames time.

I would like to request we stay on the topic of Elecraft and it's relevance to other equipment and gear. There are forums elsewhere for doomsday, climate change and the green people. I really enjoy hearing about the experiences with the gear. The great wit I have seen here and the information available. I am not interesting in joining a new group, I would like to see this one get back on track. 73, Dan KM6CQ
