> OK.. I guess I'll have to appologize for
starting this flame war.
Flame war ? Where ? Oh, yes, lets participate :)
Of the lists
that I subscribe to, this one has always impressed me by how
cooperative and sharing the members are. Every single day I see members
donating their time, effort, knowledge, and hardware to promote the hobby
of collecting computers. Unfortunately, It's threads like this that kill
the spirit of the group.
Steve, most of us are a vocal bunch and have a fair number of opinions on
just about anything you would care to bring up. No apologies are necessary
as I too would have posted that to the list if I had seen it first. I've
been in and seen enough flame wars to know this too shall pass (although
this would be considered a very *tame* flamewar!) In spite of Doug being
rather vocal, he is an okay guy and entitled to his opinions ... as are we!
And I'm glad about the hint, since I didn't see the SOL, and
so I was able to put on a 'watch' bid - No Doug, I don't consider
a bid of 30 USD on a SOL as pushing the price ...
Anyway, there are as many pros as cons (I was also at one time realy
mad on Marvin for publishing one of my 'secret' I want it and I want
now and all bids, but I think if one takes a look on the bidder list
it's up to everyone to decide if he wants to go against a list member
(without further notice) or not. In fact, I don't consider this
'advertizeing' a problem at all (now).
Gruss

(I whish we had more offers on alternative systems, but it seams that
the reasonable offers are most time on ePay ... :(
