[Elecraft] Do we need 2 groups?

It is clear that the members of this group are amazingly social and love their product. However, I am concerned that the off topic (but valid) dialogues get away from the actual charter of the original group and the the fact that Elecraft staff are part of this group. Why not have someone clone

In other words, divide up the group so that we all have to subscribe to several lists instead of just one? Each of those groups will of course tend to wander off topic, and likely into topics that belong on the other group(s). We'd also see crossposts, like tp the Yahoo KX3 list and this

Re: [Elecraft] Do we need 2 groups?

Hello, Yahoo has a feature that I use for each of my groups. I cannot recall the name used for it but, basically without going into great detail, it is condenses the day's emails for that group into one email. I scan the summary and, if any topic looks interesting, I scroll down to read it;

Jerry, You *can* do that on the Elecraft reflector. Go to http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft, log in, and set your mail delivery to Digest. I find that inconvenient to post a reply, or even to read through it, and some replying to a digest post do not delete the 'extra' and

I am aware of Digest, and that is fine, but I don't want Digest my real time Elecraft discussions. Digest has its own set of issues as you loose the subject of the conversation when you reply unless you stay on top of it. Then again, I could leave and join as required since I sold move of

Only problem is I get my email on my phone too and haven't found a way to filter mail on it. Hence, I get seemingly dozens of OT emails on it daily. No problem on the laptop. Don Wilhelm w3...@embarqmail.com wrote: Jerry, You *can* do that on the Elecraft reflector. Go to

The actual charter as I understand it is to discuss matters related to Amateur Radio in a rational manner.  It is sponsored by Elecraft, so things related to Elecraft are emphasized.  I do not recall any clause limiting the topics to those which all Amateurs agree (is there any such?)

Between self-moderation and Eric's very reasonable tolerance of OT posts, I don't think further measures are necessary. Breaking it up into subgroups just means the experts we all rely on most will have less reason to hang around answering questions. That would be a very negative consequence.
