RE: [meteorite-list] ebay listings, steve choner's attempt for a new group
Chirsian and all: The list policy is already clear. Policy#8 states - "Do not post - major advertisement- emails to the list - use a 'sale' link". This policy was later ammended on the list to require the word "AD" in the subject line so that list members would be clear that the email contained an ad. I think the problem arrose when some list members posted their ebay auctions daily, spamming the list. For example one member in particular would say "I have ebay auctions ending in 7 days" then "I have ebay auctions ending in 6 days", then "I have ebay auctions ending in 5 days", etc etc. You get the idea. Members won't even quit fighting and using vulgar language on this list which is a much much bigger problem than theoccasional ebay ad announcement. As long as the word "AD" appears in the subject, I do not see a problem as this allows all list members to decide for themselves if they wish to open an "AD" email. Randy From: "Ing.

I think the idea to keep ebay announcements off this list has died. Still many members like Michel Franco (sorry Michel but you are just only ONE example for what I want to say becuase you recently did it) have not accepted Steve's idea.

So I don't want to be one of these two who accepts the disadvantage of not posting ebay announcements to the REAL meteorite-list as long as others ignore not posting ebay announcements.

Re: [meteorite-list] ebay listings, steve choner's attempt for a new group
Dear all, I did not know about the word "AD" to be added in the subject line and will do it from now on, when I indicate to the List that we have new items for sale on our web site. Sorry for my recent "AD", which wasn't indicated so. Kind regards.

Re: [meteorite-list] ebay listings, steve choner's attempt for a new group
Frederic, Randy and others, General List Policy # 9 states: If you are posting a URL for a Sale, include 'SALE' in the subject box. This was established by Art Jones. I don't see how discussion on the list can change or modify this to read AD, or the need for AD when SALE works just as well.

Re: [meteorite-list] ebay listings, steve choner's attempt for a new group
Thomas.. You are right, of course. As this tread progressed, the word Ad was used and I did not bother to verify the exact wording of the list policy but was only referring to previous email. The spirit of the policy is that advertisements are permitted as long as the subject line clearly states so.

Hi Jim, Thanks for posting the URL to the General List Policies. Maybe all who are concerned will take this opportunity to re-read them and realize that Art has already taken care of the situation and that we don't need any new wording or modification.
