I'm only worried that such ads will get out of hand, as on other
liwts--where they will become the diminant posts, if you will. If
they can be kept to a minimum and controlled, that's fine, otherwise...

Let's allow the posting of sales-related inquiries to continue. There may indeed be additional forums for these messages, but being able to advertise your equipment for sale here will guarantee that your message is being read by a number of people who are familiar with and might be interested in the Plextalk or related products being sold.

I think sales ads should not be permitted on tis list. This isnot an adverts list--there are several of those. This is one of the only places one can share info about the Plextalk, since Plextor do not support it--at least here in the US, the American headquarters for Plextor--some 50 km from my home say they have turned the unit over completely to IRTI. So I think this list should remain free of sales concerns.

Hi Andrew:
As regards "for sale" messages, I think they are perfectly fine and should be allowed, with the proviso that follow-up inquiries, sale negotiations, etc. should be taken off list, which folks would undoubtedly do anyway.

Hi,
If you reply to the message it will go to the list. You need to change the to: line to the person only.
On a side topic, there have been a few for sale messages on here recently, do people feel they should be allowed? I have a mixed view.
Thanks.
Andrew.
