Policy#8 states - "Do not post - major advertisement- emails to the list - use a 'sale' link". This policy was later ammended on the list to require the word "AD" in the subject line so that list members would be clear that the email contained an ad.</P> <P>I think the problem arrose when some list members posted their ebay auctions daily, spamming the list. For example one member in particular would say........</P> <P>"I have ebay auctions ending in 7 days" then "I have ebay auctions ending in 6 days", then "I have ebay auctions ending in 5 days", etc etc. You get the idea.</P> <P><STRONG>Members won't even quit fighting and using vulgar language on this list which is a much much bigger problem than the occasional ebay ad announcement.</STRONG></P> <P>As long as the word "AD" appears in the subject, I do not see a problem as this allows all list members to decide for themselves if they wish to open an "AD" email.</P> <P>Randy<BR><BR></P></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>From: "Ing.

To decide if <DIV></DIV>>announcements for ebay auctions are possible for ALL or NOT. <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>Maybe somebody has a solution for making a poll to let the members decide. <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>Art Jones, a question to you as first man of the list : <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>Is it possible to make a poll in this subject ? <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>I saw on different yahoo-lists that there are polls possible but I am not <DIV></DIV>>aware how to make this here. <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>Could you find a soultion ? <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>I suggest a solution is asked, otherwise everybody makes what he wants. <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>Cheers, <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>Christian <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>IMCA #2673 <DIV></DIV>>www.austromet.com <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>Ing.
