Yes, the call and name information is public indeed.. ONLY when the person posting cares to share it. That is ALL that I said. If said person chooses NOT to give that information out on a public reflector, it is not up to Don, or anyone else to share it with the group. That is in poor taste.
Don is very helpful. I know this personally, as I have had him answer some of my own questions as well. Yes, he answers pretty much EVERY email, and yes he has an opinion on about EVERY topic, but I can sift through those emails for when I'm after the important stuff. I see no need for him to take his technical skills off of this reflector for any reason, none that I've given anyhow. There's no reason for Wayne, Eric, nor Lyle to be bothered with this matter what so ever. > From: h3c...@gmail.com > To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net > Date: Sun, 18 Apr 2010 18:23:38 -0400 > CC: d...@w3fpr.com > Subject: [Elecraft] Don > > Allow me to weigh in on the "personal information" issue.
