Parting out a basket case is one thing, parting out a perfectly good radio for more profit is something else...enough said I wont beat this subject to death...just really upsets me.
It's a different world these days....people have no problem whatsoever sending spam, destroying radios for profit and using mailing lists like this one to
make their money.
Without naming names, over the years I've watched folks advertise on mailing lists....never offering to defray the cost of maintaining the list, never even
saying thanks for the free advertising.
While it hasn't happened here, I once ran a list that attracted a lot of the get rich quick schemers. Because it was SO obvious they were using the list to make
money, I asked them to pay for the advertising. Man....I was accussed of everything short of having sex with their animals....and they actually attempted to justify their actions because they were "helping" others.
I think the crass commercialism we see in lists and the explosion of E-PAY is an indication that we've lost the ability to simply help others...either no charge, or for very minimal sums.
