In my experience, the items offered to the AM and Military surplus lists 
have, at least, been 'niche' specific.  Things that AM'ers can use.

Were I to see items like surface mounted resistors or capacitors, you 
know, the little 'chip' things that are no bigger than a flea, then yeah 
- I'd have a problem with that, too.  Oil filled caps, radial lead 1, 5 
10 and 25w resistors - those are needed items (and are getting harder 
and harder to find).  Does anyone know of another source for FT-243 xtals?

Probably lost in this long thread of discussion was the statement "as 
long as it relates to AM and Boat Anchor operation..."  I'm good with that.

Simply replying to a message will now reply to the sender.  Replying to 
'All' or 'List' (as is the option case with Thunderbird 12.0.1) allows 
you all kinds of options.  We simply have to be smarter than our 
equipment, people, by 10% to utilize it efficiently.

As Brian said, there are also filters to configure, if you so desire.  I 
will probably utilize a filter to move messages from 'known sellers' 
into a new folder I've already created called "AM-Swap".

This isn't rocket science, folks.

Let the ads commence.  I'll use the first message to utilize the 'create 
filter from message' option.
