Yes, but the moderator here told sellers they had to put a warning in capital letters at the top of their posts telling anyone who replies to be suire not to reply to the whole list, otherwise the moderatoir said that he was going to banish the SELLER--who clearly WANTS all his messages to be seen by the whole list and really has nothing to do with this problem.
73, Don Merz, N3RHT I did not say that Don. I clearly separated and distinguished what guidelines I expected for the SELLER and for the BUYER. If you placed the "email directly to me" at the top of your for sale list as I suggested, and someone decided to ignore that, it's not your fault, and I certainly would realize that. If we are going to use this list as a buy/sell thing, even just a little, I want some common sense guidelines for how "business" should be conducted between the seller and the buyer. I don't get why this is such a terrible rule! I am also thinking of the archives. I know a lot of folks simply use the delete button if they don't care about reading a certain post, but the archives do not distinguish what it keeps, and it continues to get bigger and bigger. Another list I belong to has come up with a way to make a searchable archive from Pipermail, and I'm very interested to watch how this works for a while and possibly get this installed for us. The cleaner our archives, the better the search algorithm will work. Our archives contain a wealth of technical information from the last 4 or 5 years but currently Pipermail does not have a search feature.
