Oh my god, Eric! Enough! Please. I know you are trying to provide a
much-needed service to everyone, but you said a few days ago that your posts
are not Ads, yet they really are. They are more annoying than most other
peoples' ads and you are trying to pull more and more people to see your
websites, so in effect, THEY ARE ADS. Did Billy Mays reincarnate himself in
your body??? :-) Even if YOU are not selling meteorite specimens on your
Spacifieds.com website, and the service that you are making available is
free to others, it is still an advertisement because ads don't have to
result in direct sales; you are drumming up visits to your websites where
you are trying to rent ad space on your websites ("P.S. I still have 5
(125x125 pixel) ad spots available on the Meteorites USA home page. $99 year
or $150 for both Meteorites USA and MeteoriteBlog.com..."), so that's
obviously an ad. You are sending out one or two of these "updates" every
day. Only ONE per week, please. Maybe at the end of the week you can tell
us about all of the new features or new websites in ONE e-mail.

BTW, I don't have a problem with your website or content; I actually like
what you are doing. It's the announcements/ads that are breaking the rules.
Maybe I'm wrong... and if I am, I'm sure a few people will tell me. :-)

Thanks,

Bob

Posting a link to this would be unfair, so I'll let you check it out if
you want to see it.

Ebay Links: YES! You are allowed to post your individual Ebay Auction
links or links to your Ebay store in your ad listings.

Dealers: YES! you can include links directly to your Spacifieds ad
listings in your emails and advertisements just like you do with your
Ebay auctions. The links are search engine friendly too, meaning Google
likes them. And there's no symbols or nonsense that could cause broken
links.

website just for posting 10 ads or more. This link is visible to

What are you waiting for.

Thanks everyone, for all your help, advice, and feedback, maybe this
could actually turn into something useful for the meteorite and
astronomy community.

I know you can use it, and hope you like it!

Also I just wanted to say, Spacifieds is not limited to meteorites. If
you're an amateur or professional astronomer, astronomy buff, or
scientist you're more than welcome to post your astronomy related
classified free. Trade items and Wanted ad listings are welcome too. Got
an old collection of Astronomy magazines you want to sell? Space related
comics? How about an old telescope, or collectible lithograph? Maybe you
have a digital camera, or some other electronic device. Scientific
equipment is also welcome. Microscopes, scales, testing equipment, lab
equipment. Basically anything related to astronomy can be listed for
free. Buy, Sell, Trade, and Wanted listings.

Enjoy...

Regards,
