Not to drag this "non-techtools" topic on too long. But how 'bout we just can the whole idea of doing a FS: or especially a FA: - In my opinion, there is always the unspoken rule that if you REALLY DO have something of interest to sell, such as a motherload of Atari CAT Boxes you can go ahead and "Mention it". But I think most of us aren't too interested in relatively easy to find stuff.
Personally I don't mind the occasional "FS" post. I for one have used the FS to sell some semi-obscure stuff, rather than resorting to eBay. I've bought test equipment via TTL as well, since I feel like its better represented than something from some TE broker on eBay. I may be biased, as I've sold stuff on TTL before, and would like to be able to do it in the future. A classified type post is not noise to me, but I'm always buying and selling anyway. My suggestion would just be that if anyone abuses it (posting weekly advertising for a commercial venture), just unsubscribe them on a case by case basis. TTL is low enough bandwidth that its never bothered me getting anything marked [TTL], even mixed in with all the hundreds of emails I get daily. _______________________________________________ Techtoolslist mailing list Techtoolslist@flippers.com http://seven.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/techtoolslist
