Subject: RE: [meteorite-list] campos sales sale
I try not to post much unless I really think I have something to
contribute, but I have to say I'm with Thomas Webb on this one.
I sort through and delete anything I don't want to keep from this
list several times a day, so I can't do statistics on this myself. Has
anyone else tracked how many messages are posted to the list complaining
about Steve posting too much to the list? Is it 2x Steve's posts? Is it
3x? I am certainly less concerned or annoyed sorting through his posts than
the posts from a number of others on the list, and if anything I think his
enthusiasm is refreshing, as is his tendency not to get drawn into
responding in kind to personal attacks on the list. If folks are really
interested in 'putting meaning behind the words used' in posts, Steve has
plenty of company there as well.
This is an unmoderated (is that a word?) list, as we have all
discussed many times. This is how unmoderated lists work. It makes some
sense to respond to dramatically inappropriate posts, but I honestly don't
see how Steve's qualify.

Thomas and List-
While I agree that Steve has not hurt anyone, you must see that he brings alot of this on himself. When he 'VOWS' to not post again about this and then almost immediately posts twice to the list, what does he expect. He swore he would 'NEVER' sell his Haag pieces and had them on ebay (how much more public a forum could he choose?), the next day.
If he wished to be left alone he would not demand the attention he gets in response to his his ridiculous posts. You must believe that Steve really doesn't care what anyone thinks as this is an established behavior since he joined the list. If any of this mattered to him, he would simply realize that many of us on the list actually put meaning behind the words we use and just assume that others do as well.
But until then...

He seems to follow rule number 9 of the general list policies by placing the word 'sale' in the subject line. Very few others do this, and we have a lot of repeated posts of sales going on, usually without complaints. Most of us like to check out what is being offered by list members but if we don't want to, all we have to do is press that 'delete' key. Best, Thomas
