I normally don't like to get involved in this kind of thing but will put in my 2 cents this time. I have to agree that it would be much simpler to have the reflector set up with the "reply to" and "reply to all" to work like most all other reflectors are set up. That, in my opinion, would solve most of the problems.
I think this was debated long ago and it was decided that both replies should go to the reflector so that the list doesn't "miss anything". Well this is what happens. Most people try to do the right thing, but don't realize at the time what will happen. I think the warnings about "don't reply to ads on the list" about equal the number of violations. So that doesn't save much archive space either. Concerning "extra stuff" getting on the list with these replies, It seems to me that there is much more "junk" on the list about bashing the ARRL or something else that seems to go on and on, compared to a few replies to for sale items. Of course maybe that is what this list is destined for rather than good AM discussions. I about wear out the delete key with this "junk" and have come close to unsubscribing from the list many times. The for sale replies are small compared to the rest of the junk posts. 73 Gary K4FMX > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:amradio- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Edward B Richards > Sent: Friday, February 29, 2008 10:49 AM > To: amradio@mailman.qth.net > Subject: Re: [AMRadio] {ADMIN NOTICE TO SELLERS AND BUYERS ON THIS LIST} > > I am purposely sending this to the list so others see how I feel about > the situation.
