Personally, this is how I look at it: If you're looking for somethign

want it for commercial reasons (like the guy that was wanting PS/2 model
30s back in July). What is annoying is people that spam the list with
general requests, like "Does anyone have DEC hardware?" or "I buy old
IBM machines" (as a request for sale not as in "I collect old IBM
machines.")
That's my US$0.02.

Wait, I thought ads were allowed? Not that I particularly wish to be
innundated with commercial requests, and in particular, I'd hope that
no
here would sell off their classic equipment to a reseller, but I see
plenty of ads on this list. Does the charter of the list indicate
that people can't sell or request to purchase equipment on the list?
Actually, there doesn't seem to be an answer. That part of the FAQ is
missing (http://www.classiccmp.org/faq.html). Are there any other
places on the 'net where there would be a complete version of this, or
was the rest never written?
