I've been doing most of the administrative chores [mostly screening out spam]
for the CQ-Contest mailing list for several years now. The list has now grown
to almost 1150 people, and an unknown number who simply read through the
message archives..
The discussions on the list have been more cantankerous over time - and they
have been less about helping people who want to improve their contesting skills
and more about back-seat lawyering about rules (FCC, contest, social, etc).
I'd like to ask that each of you, especially those of you who post a lot of
messages, to take the time to think about each message you send and make sure
it will have enough value to such a large mailing list, or whether your
comments might be best directed to individuals (or contest sponsors) instead.
I hope we can see more quality and less quantity (especially the one-line
messages).
In December there were 622 messages posted (20 per day), how many were really
useful? Only about 140 different people posted messages (60 people posted
more than once).
Thanks - and best wishes for 2006!
