Dr. David Kirkby from Kirkby Microwave Ltd
 

I am on about a dozen different groups for various things

* Website design
* Graphics
* Keysight groups for VNAs
* Keysight group for LCR meters
* A couple of UK based amateur radio sites
* GNU cash
* SageMATH mathematics software
* UK microwaves
* HP/Agilent/Keysight (I am owner)
* VNWA

There¡¯s more messages from this group than any other - and possibly all the
others combined. ????

I am not sure if that¡¯s a good thing or not. If the popularity of the list
grows much more, I will probably have to start muting topics.

Maybe if the popularity grows much more, the group owners might want to
consider splitting the group, another group, hashtags, subgroups or
anything else that is needed to keep the volume of emails to an acceptable
level.

I agree with you Dave; sometimes it is like "drinking from a fire hose". This is an extraordinarily?active site; it is difficult to try to read the messages that interest me.?I don't know what the answer is. I have thought of getting another email address especially for this group.

Well, it's a new hot product with a lot of people getting up to speed.? Plus V2 is under discussion, with a lot of suggestions.? I suspect it will taper off...

I agree that this is a very active group. I know that many of the topics revolve around NanoVNA-Saver and others are about firmware and further hardware development. All of them about this and future evolutions of the NanoVNA.


 

It should be selected from topics and easier to organize

Don't forget there are account settings where you decide whether to receive an email for every individual post, or a single digest each day, or no emails etc etc.

I receive a daily digest, but I seldom even look at it since I am checking the forum site multiple times each day - what a delight to see how active things are, and also to watch the number of subscribers growing as more and more folks find out about the nanoVNA.


 

Currently, and as one of the owners, that is my take on things. I myself have also felt as if I am drinking from a fire hose (5") at times.

Splitting the group would require that members subscribe to multiple groups. I'm not sure that that would be helpful.

Hashtags ans subgroups require that member's associate their posts with the appropriate hashtag or subgroup (to some extent - this sort of organization can be done automatically, but it's not much different than threading).

I'd be willing to entertain anything that helps; I'd want to see what mechanism is being proposed and how it would affect the readability of the forum content (pros AND cons).

So far, I think the best solution is for members to read what is immediately of value based on need and interest and ignore the rest. Remember, the content is always available online if one wants to go back and review a thread.

Dave,

There are so many messages because the nanaVNA is a technology disrupter, a piece of test equipment at a great price that a ham or hobbyist can use and experiment with.
You have a delete key.
I vote for keeping the messages and ideas coming. As new versions are developed new groups are being formed.

Daily Digest is what keeps me sane (?!)

A method used here might help some readers of this vigorous group.
The default sorting of the incoming messages in an email client is
by date and time. That does not have to be.

For the purposes of picking off threads of interest, simply set the
email client to sort by subject. In that way posts on a topic are all
grouped together.

NanoVNA posts are grouped together and are sorted by thread. Posts
from other groups are grouped together, separately, and sorted by their
threads. There is little interleaving of groups or threads. When
finished clearing the topics of interest from each of the groups, mass
purge the posts with the remaining subject headings and return to date
and time sorted order.

With that technique, all subject headings can still be reviewed;
anything new coming up in the way of a topic that looks interesting can
be read if desired.
