Thanks for being open minded about this, Duane.

I for one have no issue with eBay posts that are educational, fun, or otherwise "interesting" (but just ragging on an inflated buy-it-now does get old)!  Perhaps such posts could begin with the word "eBay:" so those not inclined to read them can more easily skip them.

However, I would hate to see this list become nothing but a collection of pointers to subscriber's ads on eBay.  If I want a 75A-4, I'll set up an eBay search for one, and I suspect other subscribers know how to do that as well - or can be easily tutored.


I don't know if a motion is appropriate here, but I propose that eBay links are acceptable provided they harbor no pecuniary interest to the poster and begin with the word "eBay" in the subject line.

73,
Jeff
