<P>Chirsian and all:</P>
<P>The list policy is already clear.&nbsp; Policy#8 states - "Do not post - major advertisement- emails to the list - use a 'sale' link".&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; For example one member in particular would say........</P>
<P>"I have ebay auctions ending in 7 days"&nbsp; then "I have ebay auctions ending in 6 days", then "I have ebay auctions ending in 5 days", etc etc.&nbsp; 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&nbsp;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>

<DIV></DIV>&gt;Hi list, Hi Steve !
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt;I think the idea to keep ebay announcements off this list has died.
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Still many members like Michel Franco (sorry Michel but you are just only
<DIV></DIV>&gt;ONE
<DIV></DIV>&gt;example for what I want to say becuase you recently did it) have not
<DIV></DIV>&gt;accepted Steve's idea.
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt;So I don't know why I (or the others) should not make any announcements for
<DIV></DIV>&gt;my (or their)
<DIV></DIV>&gt;ebay auctions in future again.
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Nobody cared about except very few members like
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Mike Farmer, Dean Bessey, Matteo Chinellato, Phillipe Thomas, Me and two or
<DIV></DIV>&gt;three others,
<DIV></DIV>&gt;I THINK WE DID NOT REACH A NUMBER OF 10 OF MEMBERS who accepted this and now
<DIV></DIV>&gt;these members
<DIV></DIV>&gt;have a disadvantage as they did not post to the list since the ebay-group
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Steve created exists!!
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt;So I don't want to be one of these two who accepts the disadvantage of not
<DIV></DIV>&gt;posting
<DIV></DIV>&gt;ebay announcements to the REAL meteorite-list as long as others ignore not
<DIV></DIV>&gt;posting ebay announcements.
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt;We (all the members of this list) should find a solution. To decide if
<DIV></DIV>&gt;announcements for ebay auctions are possible for ALL or NOT.
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Maybe somebody has a solution for making a poll to let the members decide.
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Art Jones, a question to you as first man of the list :
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Is it possible to make a poll in this subject ?
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt;I saw on different yahoo-lists that there are polls possible but I am not
<DIV></DIV>&gt;aware how to make this here.
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Could you find a soultion ?
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt;I suggest a solution is asked, otherwise everybody makes what he wants.
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Cheers,
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Christian
