Gentlemen, I am beating a dead horse all over again. In all likelihood, we will decide NOT to allow selling ANYTHING on this list due to the fact that those who sell their goods here, don't pay attention to moderator and admin warnings (see just a few links to this in the archives below) about stating very clearly in their for sale ads that they need to inform any potential buyers to reply directly to them.
Jim/W5JO, one of our moderators has just, in very recent times, like yesterday, tried to express this to the list. The replies to these for sale ads are just as aggravating.... When a member replies to one of these ads, they almost always quote the entire ad of the original poster to say nothing but something like "I'll take the so and so book". We have 500 +/- members on this email list, and each and every email posted, or replied to, is sent to the entire member list. That means that when you say, "I'll take that" to the seller, it goes to the whole 500+ members. Well, I've tried to explain this before, and now it's come time to decide if we will allow for sale ads on this list from this point forward. You sellers out there need to express the need NOW for people to always reply back to you ONLY, or forever stop selling on this list. The debate is on, and I am real game for it. Just a few examples in the last few weeks or so.... http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg20468.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg20427.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg19794.html -- "Money is only temporary, radios are forever" - Jim Little aka "the old dawg"/K5BAI ______________________________________________________________ Our Main Website: http://www.amfone.net AMRadio mailing list Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ List Rules (must read!): http://w5ami.net/amradiofaq.html List Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.html Post: mailto:[email protected] To unsubscribe, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body.
