It Elecraft send me their bug / issues list, I will treat it confidential
and put together an agreed (with them) page for the Wiki.
Could we not do this on an 'as seen' basis, no questions to Elecraft about
the issues, or at least not that you should expect Wayne/Eric/Lyle/Greg to
answer (sorry if I missed anyone :)

When I am working on a problem I never think about beauty.
I only think about how to solve the problem.
But when I have finished, if the solution is not beautiful,
I know it is wrong.
