[Elecraft] ...terminate speakers thread?

2010-10-26 Thread John Ragle
Would it be possible for whoever runs this list to terminate the 
quality speakers thread? This thread has popped up at least 3 times in 
the last year, and I (for one) feel that it has become a bit tiresome. 
At least, the submissions about speaker quality for CW take the form of 
a bad joke...

Is it not just as easy to simply utilize the 'Delete' key?

I've always been a tad fascinated by a request such as this. If a group of 
individuals enjoy discussing a certain topic and a few others do not, is it 
not just as easy for the few (or I, for one) to just delete or skip that 
particular thread rather than speak for the collective?

Imagine coming upon a roundtable/ragchew OTA re. a topic we didn't 
particularly enjoy. Would we QSK and ask that the discussion cease... Or 
would we simply QSY?

As always, take care es...

Not true.  A speaker with lousy response can create distortion and 
emphasize QRN, making CW harder to copy.

Re: [Elecraft] ...terminate speakers thread? [END of Thread]

2010-10-26 Thread Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft
Folks - Lets terminate the 'terminate' thread.

As per the list guidelines, requests to end a thread, or to complain 
about a posting,  are to be sent to the moderator (me) and not to the 
list - in order to keep list volume reasonable.

In general we do not prohibit repeats of prior threads if the number of 
posts are small. Frequently a new piece of info does occur. Once a 
repeating thread gets a lot of posts, I'll end it if there is not 
something new.

Also, when about to post a question, its not a bad idea to first search 
the Nabble archive of the list at:
http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/
Its a powerful search engine and it will frequently answer your question.

Please keep it civil and polite.

73,
Eric  WA6HHQ

Absolutely correct.  Same for headphones, lousy audio amps with distortion and 
DSPs full of artifacts.
