Hello Listies,
 From time to time there is a small battle over placing ads here.
I have set up a mailing list at ONElist called meteorite_sale this list 
is for posting wants/sales/trades of meteorites or other objects of 
interest to the meteorite collector. This list may be used by individual 
collectors. Dealers may post when new/rare/noteworthy* items are 
available.(*noteworthy includes price reductions of at least 25%)
To join the list go to
http://www.onelist.com/subscribe.cgi/meteorite_sale
To subscribe to this ONElist mailing list, you must register with
ONElist.

To me this seemed a good solution, if you want to receive advertisements 
you could join the "meteorite_sale" list. If you want to advertise you 
probably want to advertise to someone who is interested.(Otherwise,it's 
just SPAM)
 Now that Art has banned most ads, the "meteorite_sale" list should be 
able to fill this niche. There are almost 100 members on the list now 
out of the ~300 on Art's list.(Is this a vote of 2 to 1 against ads?)
 There have been ads on Art's list lately by people that did not join 
the "meteorite_sale" list, why?

I get nothing from Onelist, I make no money off it in any way, I just 
wanted a list for ads and the spat over them to end.
