As a NON-Elecraft owner, I thought I would chime in. I too, enjoy both the technical, as well as the Off-Topic well - erm, topics. I just thought I would copy information taken directly from Elecraft's website ( https://elecraft.com/pages/community).
The ELECRAFT email list server (reflector) is provided to further the discussion of Elecraft products and related items. It serves as a forum for the discussion of* both technical and operating topics* *including* KX1/K1/K2/K3/KX3/P3/KPA500 features, construction and debugs problems, *sharing your enthusiasm and impressions* from using our products *and more general ham radio related topics of interest* to our customers. There is a tremendous amount of knowledge and information available via the searchable list archives and by posting your questions to the list. *(You must be subscribed to post to the list.)* Emphasis is obviously mine. As long as it's not hateful, hurtful, or inappropriate, and is done with the spirit of ham radio and Elecraft's stated purpose in mind, it seems fine (to me). I think there are enough cycles on the bands for us to turn the dial, and in this case electrons in the wires for us to delete the emails, whenever something doesn't interest you. See you down the log, ~Josh W0ODJ P.S. One of these days i'll convince my wife to let me buy a K3S... It'll probably be a K5 by then!
