I'm afraid I just can't get along with this rule. There's too many
exceptions. "Push" commerce isn't allowed except for reproductions and
whatnot... What the hell? It's still selling something. Presumably the
seller still makes money-- presumably the product is available in even
*greater* quantities than original parts. Selling a reproduction control
panel is OK, but selling an original isn't? Huh? "Pull" commerce is OK
too? ('I need a such-and-such')

My aim was not to cause overt trouble with my post, but I did want to probe
the reaction and see if things have settled down. Obviously my post caused
problems, and I'm afraid I don't agree with the policy-- nor do I care to
abide by it.

Since this isn't my list to direct, I will respect the wishes of the group
as a whole and simply unsubscribe. I'm afraid I just liked the "old days"
better when I could find parts and equipment in forsale posts and if the
discussion drifted off topic I didn't need to worry about a federal
inquiry-- or being an "offender". :-( I haven't used a 2400bps modem in
years, so bandwidth isn't a concern-- and I'm quick with the 'delete' key if
I don't like something I see.

Sorry to have ruffled any feathers. No hard feelings Joe/Paul; the work you
guys put into the list is appreciated. Everyone else-- sorry for this one
last "off-charter" post...

Perhapts someday I'll find the time to maintain a list for vector-related
parts/games/repro commerce! ;-)

Regards,
-Clay
