I'm sorry, I was unclear. My 1st point was that

People who might have classic hardware that must go *now*, if not to a

anyone else?), case in point that Bondwell that went somewhere else.
Perhaps another collector got it, I don't know. My 2nd point was that
moderation will give an advantage to the moderator(s) who are interested
in the presumed hardware.
Please don't use the example of the Bondwell to promote any idea regarding
list management, let alone one that will continue to allow SPAM to be
posted to the list. The person offering it retracted it (for whatever
reason, I don't know, didn't ask, didn't care) shortly after I posted the
message to the list.
As I mentioned in an earlier post, I really don't
care about the volume of
spam I get thru this list. I'm pretty sure that they will be delt with by
I do care.
others far better than I could do myself. I only
offered because I do see
them as issues that should be at least examined, before a major decision
like moderation, even limited as it is in this case, is made.
NOBODY EVER PROPOSED MODERATION!!!
I wish people would actually READ and COMPREHEND the messages written here
before responding!!!
