I agree with Jim! The delete button is what one needs to figure out, Eye to Brain to Finger to Delete button. Fragmenting meteorites to this list, that list,all over the place due to lack of using a delete key finger....and being upset with modern business practices....EG....EBAY...is just sour grapes, get a life!
I welcome ebay adds to the list most of the time and refuse to shop to a dozen different places to see adds...Hell, I can still find ebay.com and bypass a bunch of lists if that was the direction needed. Old timers should rest prehistoric views.
Thanks Jim,
Dave Freeman

There is NO list policy banning the announcement of ebay auctions on this list. It was agreed some time ago that the word "ad" should appear in the subject line so that list members not wanting to read advertisements did not have to even open the email. Check the list policies and you see that I am correct.

Just because some list members HATE ebay does not mean they have the power to ban ebay ads. They should direct their efforts to more important list problems such as vulgarity and flame wars.
So post away Michel. I would love to know when your ebay ads appear.

Sorry Chtristian and Peter,
I did not read the message related to Ebay. I was very pissed off by many non meteorite related messages that I almost stop reading all.
I understand that there should not be any annoucement of Ebay Sales on this list.
Just 2 questions:
Is it in the list policy ?
STeve is probably right. Some times ago I understood that we shoud clearly write ADD ebay on the object so anyone can automatically skip off the messages with the Outlook ( or other ) t messages tools
Where should I send my ebay sales adds ? Personnaly I don't care send messages to other lists.
Sorry again.
BTW I have 23 auctions ending in a couple of hours !
Best regards
Michel.

Still many members like Michel Franco (sorry Michel but you
are just only
ONE example for what I want to say becuase you recently did
it) have not accepted Steve's idea...
Hello list,
I like to find all ebay and all other AD's on this very list.
Somtimes items are sold within a few minutes and I don't like
to check the yahoo list every 5 minutes.
I made a couple of very good buys thanks to AD's on this list.
For some items I was - unfortunately - too late
as they were put on the list when it was 3:30AM in Europe :-( (e.g. 5g of Ensisheim).
PS.: I think that Meteorite AD's are much more meteorite related than a lot of other contributions that have recently reached this list!
