for sale etiquette?

I went back and checked, and it _is_ at least partly my fault; this summary is slightly more favourable to me than the facts support. This spun off from my parenthetical note (not in response to a direct question to me) While I still don't think this was really _out of line_, it was not the best way I could have handled it - in particular, I did not need to name any of the reasons on the spot, and next time it comes up I intend to avoid doing so (and will try to avoid its blowing up the way it did this time, too, even if someone does ask specifically). The main reason I'm writing another note in this thread is This leads me to suspect that readers of this little flap may have gained an incorrect idea of my opinion of the VCM. I think it has problems, yes - but except for one that I think I saw Patrick agree with and say they'd fix, they are all peculiar to me in one way or another; and besides, what doesn't have problems? To be absolutely clear, I think the VCM is a very good thing, I'm glad it exists _even though_ I refuse to use it myself. I have great respect and admiration for Sellam. I bear him no ill will, over this or anything else. (I mention Sellam but not Patrick not because I think badly of Patrick but rather simply because I've interacted a good deal more with Sellam; I have insufficient experience of Patrick to have formed an opinion of him - that he's the other person behind the VCM does speak well of him, though.) /~\ The ASCII der Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mouse(a)rodents.montreal.qc.ca / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
