[Elecraft] Important List Guideline - Keep it Polite, Respectful and Brief
As per our Elecraft list guidelines, it is inappropriate to post and say someone should -not- have made a posting, or to directly criticize someone for making ANY posting. I've seen several inappropriate posts recently - especially the ones condemning someone for mentioning that they like to sweep the band in TX. Its OK to point out that something is illegal or inappropriate, if done respectfully. It is NOT appropriate to threaten going to the FCC, etc. This is an open forum focused on Elecraft products, their use and other ham radio topics (within reason), but it -is- moderated. It is not a free for all. (See the rec.radio.amateur... newsgroups for an example of a free-for-all.. ;-) In general I try to moderate with the lightest hand possible and not to censor or limit list postings. But that requires your cooperation and thoughtful tolerance of others. I run our daily business at Elecraft, so I may not always jump in a quickly as some would like. I also even get weekends off from time to time ;-) In general, please treat -everyone- on the list as if they were a close friend that you were -politely- speaking to face to face. Personal criticisms, threats etc are in direct contradiction to the list guidelines. Please also make the -minimum- number of postings possible and please keep them short. It never is necessary to vote 'me too' etc. As always, if you have a concern about a posting, please email the moderator (me). I may not respond to all of those emails directly, but I do read all of them. 73, Eric WA6HHQ Elecraft List Moderator (and modulator..) __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html

Dag nab it, Eric and all others concerned, in my not so mumbled opinion, the first red bullet* of mailing list etiquette needs to be enforced as a rule, not a suggestion.
