My God folks!  How damned hard is it for you to press the dang Delete key!?

If you have a recently developed email client, you don't even have to do
that.  Just filter them out to your trash.  I don't want to make this
little transition complicated and don't expect others too either.

The person I think a few are referring to has had some deals that would
have cost me 5 to 10 times that if I bought the same item from Nebraska
Surplus.  I keep my eye out for things like that on the lists, and I happen
to appreciate it.  Simply put; some of us have more stuff to sell than
others, and I'm glad they are there to give us a heads up on what they have
to offer at such bargain prices.

I really don't want to hear anymore about the very few folks we have here
that give us an option to get some (often times hard to find) pretty good
deals of things a lot of us need.  If I had a stock of hard to find stuff
at a bargain, I would give the members a chance at it too, but I wouldn't
give it away like some people expect.

Enough of this "peddler" talk.  We have other things to resolve first.
