Hi Jim, hi list ,

I don't have a problem with this options.
I just wanted to clear this subject.
If others post their auctions to the list using AD or SALE option then
I will also continue to do so.

best regards,

Christian

There is NO list policy banning the announcement of ebay auctions on this
list. It was agreed some time ago that the word "ad" should appear in the
subject line so that list members not wanting to read advertisements did not
have to even open the email. Check the list policies and you see that I am
correct.

Just because some list members HATE ebay does not mean they have the power
to ban ebay ads. They should direct their efforts to more important list
problems such as vulgarity and flame wars.

So post away Michel. I would love to know when your ebay ads appear.

Sorry Chtristian and Peter,

 I did not read the message related to Ebay. I was very pissed off by many
non meteorite related messages that I almost stop reading all.

I understand that there should not be any annoucement of Ebay Sales on this
list.

Just 2 questions:
Is it in the list policy ?
STeve is probably right. Some times ago I understood that we shoud clearly
write ADD ebay on the object so anyone can automatically skip off the
messages with the Outlook ( or other ) t messages tools

Where should I send my ebay sales adds ? Personnaly I don't care send
messages to other lists.

Sorry again.

BTW I have 23 auctions ending in a couple of hours !

Best regards

Michel.

Still many members like Michel Franco (sorry Michel but you are just only
ONE example for what I want to say becuase you recently did it) have not
accepted Steve's idea...
Hello list,
I like to find all ebay and all other AD's on this very list.
Somtimes items are sold within a few minutes and I don't like to check the
yahoo list every 5 minutes.
I made a couple of very good buys thanks to AD's on this list. For some
items I was - unfortunately - too late
as they were put on the list when it was 3:30AM in Europe :-( (e.g. 5g of
Ensisheim).
PS.: I think that Meteorite AD's are much more meteorite related than a lot
of other contributions that have recently reached this list!
