Whoa. Ease up there, Timmy. Ron - or Todd or Ken or Chris - may indeed be out to make money. What's wrong with that? If I can get the parts I need at a fair price - notice I didn't say "absolute lowest, dirtball, whale-doodoo, noone'd-make-money-at-this-level, search everywhere-and-can-get-it-for-$.05-less-but-I-gotta-drive-an-hour-to-get-it " - then I'm happy. You can support the list vendors or not - your choice. For the amount of mail I get from this list, Ron's "advertising" - or spam, as you put it - hardly makes a dent. If it's worth my while, I'll read it. If not, there's this little key I found recently, tucked away in the dark recesses of my keyboard, labelled <delete>. I use it for some of Ron's posts (sorry, Ron) and any others I find of little or no interest. Use that key. It's your friend, trust it. And allow the rest of us uninformed sotts to continue along our merry way, ignorant to the spam we didn't know was spam, but spotting fetid drivel when we read it. Alan Bosch '88 Wolfsburg Pilot |
