Staying on the topic of the thread, I also found the list clogging up with fixes for a cheap rubidium device (wouldn't call it a standard).
Outlook told me that there were 10,350 messages in the time-nuts folder since it was archived at the end of 2010. I used Find for 5680 and got 900 messages, starting with Feb 2011 warnings about their frequency errors. Then I used Select All and Delete to remove 9% of the folder. How about a new list for eBay finds that are a waste of money, like the Lucent XO and Rb 15 MHz boxes?

Tell it to place anything sent from the TN list with "FE5680" in the header or text to go into a special folder or otherwise be tagged as fe5680 related. I think this happens all the time -- people talk about whatever is new. Eventually $40 fe5680s will not be new.
