SAC-Forum is open to just about anything, despite AJ using his shoe as a gavel. > If not, is there some other electronic media available? Astro-Mart? > What about Non-SAC members for both of those questions? 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. > Did my telescope for sale (the 7inch Mak for 1300 dollars) get posted? 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. > If not, what else can I do electronically?
