[Skimmertalk] Where to have non-rules talk about CW Skimmer

[Pete Smith]

Well, the reason that I didn't suggest skimmertalk for this purpose is that 
I assumed a lot of people were turned off by the rules argy-bargy and 
figured that was what was going on at skimmertalk, or at least that those 
who subscribed were skimmer haters.  I am not sure, frankly, whether 
contesting.com will be willing to continue hosting a skimmer technical 
reflector, but I can certainly ask.
