[Boatanchors] All Subscribers: Please Read

[Carl-km1h]

Thank you very much with following thru what we discussed Duane. 



I knew Scotts feelings on most of that as Id discussed it with him at another time, but Im surprised about  the selling on Ebay and posting links part. 



And as mentioned it has had no negative effect on other forums that I own, moderate or am just a member. Sometimes a bit of OT is good for a change also.

What follows are quotations from correspondence exchanged between Owner

Hello Scott, KA9FOX 

What is your position as the Owner of the 'mailman.qth.net' mail lists 
regarding subscribers posting links to interesting, rare or cosmetically 
attractive items on EBAY? 

Additionally, what is your position regarding a list subscriber posting a 
link, or links, to EBAY for items they are currently personally offering 
forsale? 

Response from owner Scott Neder, KA9FOX - 

I do not see anything wrong with posting links to interesting equipment for 
sale on eBay. If an interesting Heathkit item is there, and someone is 
looking for that item, they will likely be appreciative. 

I would also have no problem if the person posted a link to an item for 

sale on eHam, QTH.com or QRZ.com. None of those are non-profit, either. 


"Scott. What about a list subscriber posting a link, or links, to EBAY for 
equipment that they are currently offering forsale?" 

Scott's reply - 

I would run your lists however you see fit. But do not specify that it's a 
QSL.net/QTH.net rule. I do not feel that it is a problem, for the reasons 
already given. If the item for sale is pertinent to the list in question, 
then it's fine. If the item in question doesn't belong on that list (is not 
a benefit to the subscribers) then it shouldn't be allowed. I don't care if 
it's eBay, QTH.com, eHam, QRZ, Craigslist or a personal sale.... I don't see 
an issue. Our site exists to benefit ham radio. Putting sellers of ham radio 
gear in touch with buyers of ham radio gear seems like a good idea to me.
