I'm with Dave on this one. I see guys setting up complicated email filters to
sort messages into different folders, etc, I just look at the subject and,
more often that not, hit the delete key.
Since I have a K3 in a box under the desk that I should be selling I'm
interested in what the market is too. Leave well enough alone.

Why do you think that for sale posts have little value to the list at large??
I very much appreciate knowing what is available since Elecraft no longer
supports such a high percentage of their products, and I appreciate knowing
what the going prices for those items are. Why should I have to go to
multiple places elsewhere with much lower membership to search for that
information?
There a LOTS of posts made to the Elecraft reflector that don't interest me in
the least. A keypress to delete them takes but an instant and I can sort
though an entire day's posts in a matter of seconds ... literally.

Just an opinion, not trying to start another mail thread:
I would like the list owner to consider restricting forsale messages.
With the K4 being available and the availability of some K3 options, I now
see a flurry of messages from people offloading their kit, or looking for
something.
A discussion about a K3 that has a defect or a modification will benefit
future readers for years to come (yes, I do use the archives which I think is
a valuable part of the reflector).
The flurry of messages "K3 for sale ... K3 has been sold" lost their value
the moment the message is on the list. The person offloading doesn't care
when he switches to flex or whatever but damage to the archives is forever.
If the reflector degrades to a forsale list then attendance will be 6999 and
probably (much) lower.
