I am not going to try and set policy or personally declare myself sheriff but I
will make an argument in support of this - realizing that a small number of
people do abuse the postings.
I know myself when I make sale postings its usually a bunch of sales clumped
all together. When I left Canada for example for a couple weeks I was having
sales almost every day. Then nobody herd from me for a year. When I get a new
moroccan shipment or when I go to shows like Tucson or Munich I also post
almost daily sales sometimes. Sometimes the sales are on behalf of my moroccan
friends and sometimes my own stuff and if I could only post one ad while in
munich, becides hurting my personal profits it prevents people who cant go to
take part in the show and acquire new stuff on offer.
Another example: Michael Blood has in february what is probably the worlds
biggest meteorite even as far as collectors are concerned. You never hear from
him for a year so would it be fair to prevent list members from learning about
the most recent updates to the main event? Of course not.
Several people who were the biggest abusers have pretty much abandoned the list
and you never hear from their sales anymore - you can bet that the list in
general is missing out on new stuff because of that.
However, with you agree with me or not, wither bill is right or not, one thing
is clear. Spewing attacks to 1000 people and pissing half of them off is not
the way to react. Nobody wants to hear this crap. You get more anti list
bitching than you do ads. The list could be renamed the anti ad bitching list.
Here is a tip. If you are confident that you never want to buy something from
somebody just use your email filters to block that persons emails.
Problem solved.
Sincerely
DEAN
PS: You would of course think that sales are something new and not the same
stuff on offer again (And again, and again and again and.........).
