[Elecraft] List guidelines, please review.

[David Gilbert]

Why do you think that for sale posts have little value to the list at 
large??  I very much appreciate knowing what is available since Elecraft 
no longer supports such a high percentage of their products, and I 
appreciate knowing what the going prices for those items are.  Why 
should I have to go to multiple places elsewhere with much lower 
membership to search for that information?

There a LOTS of posts made to the Elecraft reflector that don't interest 
me in the least.  A keypress to delete them takes but an instant and I 
can sort though an entire day's posts in a matter of seconds ... literally.
