SAC-Forum is open to just about anything, despite AJ using his shoe as a
gavel.

Astro-Mart?

See the December '98 issue of SACNews (available at the club's web site). 
Such-a-Deal ads were for "members and friends", where I chose friends to
mean the ads that where sponsored by a SAC member.

By that rule, Rick is free to sponsor any ad he chooses.

For various reasons I chose not to approve the message for SAC-Announce.

I'm not the only moderator of that list, but some of my reasons were:  it
was a one-off item and wouldn't benefit more than one member; SAC-Announce
is SAC's public voice so it goes to non-members that club would like to be
kept informed; and it was an ad not an announcement (although this likely
a restatement of my first reason).  These added up to my not approving the
message.

See above, use SAC-Forum.
