Hello Mr.Arnold, Chicago,

it is very nice of you, that you put "AD" in the subject line,
but please observe the list rules 2) and 8):

2) Be courteous and professional at all times

8) Do not post -major advertisement- emails to the list - ....

I counted now in May 22 emails from you concerning your sale/giveaways, that
means that you advertise your stuff here daily.
The list was not thought to be a forum for sales. Observe rule 8).
Many members on this list have by far more specimens for sale than you.
Imagine if each of them, who have hundreds and thousands of pieces in stock,
would give an immediate report if a piece is gone and what is left and would
send an add for each bunch of a dozen.

Observe rule number 2) Be courteous.
So many members asked you more or less polite to reduce your spamming. Spare
your words about free world, address blocking and the use of the delete key.
It is just disrespectful towards the majority of the list, who are not able
to stand anymore to your repetitive mass mails, to continue with your daily
ads and updates.
Your uneducated behaviour is not courteous and it would be a pity if
members, known for their interesting high quality posts, would leave only
because you can't cope with your incontinence.

For the last time:
- Combine your sales, trades, giveaway offers in ONE SINGLE WEEKLY AD, as so
many others do.
- if you'll feel, that it's not enough, switch to the yahoo-group
"meteorite-sales", which was built for that purposes,
- if this still will be not sufficient to ease your anankasm, post
additionally to the yahoo-group "meteoritecollectors"
- if this all does not satify your ambition, open your own yahoo-group,
where you can post and advertise as much as you want. It's free and I'm sure
several list members will gladly instruct you, how you start and to run such
a forum
- respect other people
- observe list rule 2)
- observe list rule 8)

or leave that list.

Thanks & now we wish you all a pleasant & looooooong vacation in Mexico.
Martin
