Humm.
I think the once-per-week-rule is a gentlemen's agreement.
Well, and some are gentlemen, some less...

Re: [meteorite-list] List rules re ads

2007-03-03 Thread Michael L Blood
Hi Howard,
I went to Meteorite Central to copy the rule about ads,
believing you were mistaken. Apparently, Art ran that rule only
for a limited amount of time and the rules you listed are verbatim
with no additional guidelines, whatsoever.
So, technically, anyone can run all the ads they want. As
dean said, most complainers are the ones that are consistently
placing ads (which I do not mind - but do hate the, you ran one
less than a week ago banter)...(I still don't understand how some
people find the delete key so abhorrent). So, no one can really
stand on a rule regarding frequency of ads.
I would add, however, that over advertising, boring advertising,
flooding the list with ads, etc, will lead to most people on the list
ignoring ALL your ads. In addition, there is a  clear implication
that in the list rules that ALL offers should be a sale ad for list
members, not just a strait ad. This does NOT include greatly raising
your price for a few days, then taking it back to what it was (or even
higher) as at least one person has done.
One would think common sense would dominate, but
the fact is that common sense is not all that common.
Ads should be clever, and/or provide outstanding photo links
and/or offer a real bargain and /or offer a very rare fall, and/or etc.
But technically, every one is free to make asses of themselves,
and some are remarkably gifted in this area.
Best wishes, Michael

 Hi,
 Bit of advice needed - we all know the 1 ad per month rule set by Art -
 does the same rule apply to trading/swapping?
 I ask this because, as some of you know I am undergoing an amicable divorce
 and I am keeping my minerals an meteorites.  However, I am not in a
 position
 to sell for cash for technical reasons but I can swap - I was just
 wondering what the team felt about swaps ( BTW I have  no intentions of
 swamping the list, of course - I just have another item I might offer up)
 
 thanks for your indulgence
