There's also: "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." I guess it's up to the list mom to make decisions regarding all those crooked individuals that are trying to turn a fast, commercial buck by dumping their stuff on mac-canada at list members' & advertisers' expense multiple times a year (take deep breath). I see nothing wrong with getting rid of your stuff once in a while, even if it does happen more than once a year. I intentionally don't subscribe to the swaplist b/c the bulk of posts are not germane to me, here in Toronto. I'd rather get the occasional [repeat] Canadian posting than a whole slew of American, Australian, British, Dutch, German, etc. postings that I'll never act on.
