You seem to assert that one cannot be interested in both. Surely
'aficionados' attend hamfests. But sadly, I'm beginning to think there is=

I don't want to have auctions hawked here, either! I've only been
advocating pointing to items for discussion or education. I don't think
that must lead to a "barrage" of links as sales adverts surely would.
Currently there is a zero-tolerance. I think somewhere between 'zero' and=

'many' is a small quantity that might be useful. However, the idea isn't
getting commentary, just anti-sales posts, so I have nothing more to say.=
