Remember, the list is here to try to HELP people with classic computer
stuff, which includes giving/selling stuff to people that need/want it.
It annoys the hell out of me everytime I see this topic pop up, after Jay
has already explained what's going on.
And it annoys me to have to wade through piles of messages from clueless
people asking for or about things that happened so long ago that I don't
even remember what the conversation was about or who posted it. on top of
that, I've tried helping a number of them and 99% of them never have the
courtesy to reply. One batch of CC list messages that I got this weekend
had nine messages in it and SEVEN of them were this type messages. Frankly
I get tired of the "I see you have an Altair. I'll take it if it's free and
you're willing to pay the shipping and guarantee that it works." type
messages.
