I am sorry that Jim (who began the Yahoo group) didn't realize that a house
divided against itself cannot stand. A reductio ad absurdum would be an
infinite number of groups. We could have two or three hundred groups for
pass transistors -- maybe 50 for each type of Ten-Tec power supply, etc. and
a full thousand groups dealing with QSK.
It seemed to me that if Orion users didn't want to be bothered by the
riff-raff, they could have message rules to just delete everything that
didn't have Orion in the subject line.
