Bravo John,
Your explanation is exactly what I have always understood that the list is
supposed to operate like. I have no objections to occasional commercial
posts. I also like to get an idea of what things are worth. The thing
that can get to be tiresome is when one individual starts to become a large
percentage of the daily list traffic every day. I think that we all would
agree on that. Here's hoping that things will get worked out without a
"flamefest".
