[ForSale-Swap] QTH Needs Immediate Funding!

[Dave Ellison]

Alright boys - I just sent mine (via Paypal) so DO THE SAME!!

Think about it - we sell and buy stuff on here ALL THE TIME.  If
you do that on Ebay, you pay pretty big fees.  Yet here is essentially
free.  At least as far as our end, and Lord knows I'm as guilty as
the rest that haven't paid given the number of items I've bought
and sold here over the last 4 years.  But no more!

So step up - please.  Just go to www.paypal.com and click 'send
money' and enter Al Waller's ID:  k3tkj at qsl.net (his email address).
Enter the amount, and just follow the screens - you know the drill.
It's really easy and $25 is not that much.  Even $10 I'm sure would
help out.

Let's not let this fabulous network dissolve.  The other lists out there
don't have a TENTH of what QTH.net offers.

Sorry if off topic or 'in your face' - I just don't want to lose this
network,
and I'm not afraid to be a little vocal about it.
