I have no problem filtering mail, but why don’t we (as subscribers) respect the posting guidelines and keep ON topic? Most people seem to know they are posting off-topic because they prefix the message subject with OT ... sometimes with a seemingly sincere apology for what follows. Really folks? Are you asking forgiveness for posting OT?
I know how to use the delete key ... I just find it amusing that people admit they are posting OT 😳 Dennis VE2/K7FL Sent from my iPhone > On Jun 16, 2018, at 7:31 PM, Lynn W.
