We make exceptions for the international lists (Australia, Canada, UK), the non-Mac lists (Apple II, Lisa, Newton), and items that would only be of interest to members of a specific list. Keep in mind that the swap list is generally the best place to list items for sale, since it has more subscribers than any of the other lists. That said, the swap list is a very busy list, and we don't think anyone should have to subscribe just so they can sell a personal item or system, so we do allow posting of items for sale on all lists -- but only when they are specifically related to that list. That means no posting Quadras for sale on the iMac list, for instance. To avoid this list turning into a swapfest, we restrict subscribers to one such postings per calendar year." and http://www.lowendmac.net/lists/netiquette.shtml "Although subscribers may offer specific equipment and services to the list or share an exceptional bargain they have discovered, explicitly commercial postings are prohibited on our lists. Any address or domain posting such will be blocked. Items for sale should generally be posted to the LEM Swap List. Exceptions are made for regional lists (Canada, UK, Australia) and non-Mac lists (Apple II, Lisa, Newton). You many mention a specific item you are auctioning on the appropriate list -- but auction postings are prohibited on the Swap list." CONCLUSION: Whatever the legalities of James' posting, he will not post any more items for sale on this list before August 2003. OK?
