Not to be too much of a stickler, but the word should makes rule 7
ambiguous, and open to option.
Art could have easily made it a do not rule, but did not.
I read it as a suggestion from father Art, ex cathedra.
Just my humble opinion...
Cheers,
Pete

Although this is not reflected in the list of rules on
the Meteorite Central Page, this update was directly
from Art. I don't mind the ads being more frequent
than that but I thought all of you might like to read
what Art had to say on it a little over a year ago
when this subject had heated up again.
My best,
Thomas

Geez Doug,
If you're OK with Steve's posts, then you're
implicitly saying it's OK for
every one else to act the same way. If everyone
else was as inconsiderate
as Steve(Chicago) Arnold, there would be chaos on
the list. Martin and the
other posters are just asking that everyone follow
the rules.

Come on, Dave,
It was clarified long ago that there is no
official rule against
more than 1 ad per week - that was a gentlemen's
agreement and
though Chicago Steve has been called many names, I
don't remember
anyone ever accusing him of being a gentleman.
Best wishes, Michael
PS: As for Chaos on the list - that's ALWAYS been
what this list
is - chaotic - nearly, dare I say, anarchistic? The
one exception is Art's
list of rules. If people chronically and/or
blatantly ignore them, Art
suspends or even bans them. Other than that, anarchy
pretty much
manifests throughout the list.
