Steve, Art, members f the list,

I have tried to keep quiet in the debate about Chicago Steve but now I
have to write something. If you get this then it means that it wasn't
enough to write to calm me down.
I have written a number of letters but I've never sent them in the end.

I've heard a lot of stupid things from Steve but this is the worst thing
so far.

Steve, you have no right to post on this list. No one but Art has it.
It is a privilege to post here and I suggest that you think about that.
I'm amazed that Art hasn't taken you off the list.
As I have read your postings the last year one thing stands clear, you
see the list as a place to abuse with multiple postings, repeted ads
and various off topic mails. And what worse, you don't listen to
the feedback you get from other list members.
As it is now, your posts have made so many members so weary that
whenever you post there's a storm of postings to tell you to shut up.

Art, you did send out a question about the ads on the list. I have
waited for some form of results from that poll but I haven't seen
anything.
It's your list so please, do something because this fighting is killing
the list. If every dealer on this list took as much liberty as Chicago
Steve does then it would be swamped by ads, storys about new
computers, 800+ birthday wishes a year....
I've seen you take action at least once so I know you could do it.

My opinion is that Steve should have been taken off the list a long
time ago but if you don't want to do that, give him a warning and
put him on probation until... christmas for example.

I'm not trying to stop the ads, but clearer rules on what is tolerated
or not would not hurt the list.
Personally I think a lot of sellers keeps their sales ad to a decent
level, once a week or so and often there are an easy link to follow.
Neither am I trying to stop the occasional off topic mails as long
as it is kept on a decent level.
We are only humans and we all know the joy of sharing, especially
as many members are close friends outside the internet.

Btw, today it seems like it's easier to sell whatever you want if you
live in a communist state. I have a friend that was offered a mobile
nuclear reactor from some russians a couple of years ago.

Regards, G?ran
