I'm voting for Robert. In a non radio related group and not even online
we started making "exceptions" to the rules citing "reasonable" and "get
with the times". In short order there was chaos and people leaving with
hurt feelings. Subsequent requests were flatly rejected by vote of the
membership with the least amount of 'damage' - none actually. Stick to
rules.

I do appreciate a few words about what I might see there along with the
item number as Bob has described. Just enough for me to decide if I
might want to look - or not. Posting links does make it easy to take a
peek but I know how to bring up the bay and paste an item number. It's
so easy that even *I* can do it.
