[ForSale-Swap] Who really cares if the ARRL has a by line?

[1-LUST-AUCTION SERVICES--Richard-Lust]

The list is ForSale/Swap -- the ARRL by line does nothing to distract 
or discourage what the list's intentions are all about -- and if it 
might............

Who really cares --- and what harm, if any, does it do -- and if so, to whom?

Some of you guys appear to have too much time on your hands and too 
little to occupy the time you do have!!

Really, why create such a major list controversy over something so trivial --

Go work some DX, practice your CW, check the ham radio listings on 
E-Bay, or take a walk --

Leave well enough alone and hope that the list can continue to 
survive -- and remember how much YOU personally have paid to use this 
"free" service -- If the ARRL contributes to the list owner for such 
by lines, it results in all of us getting something for free in the 
end -- right?  How does that hurt any of us --

If it was CQ Magazine or Icom, would that make any difference?  Is it 
the commercial by line you complain about or is it that you dislike 
the ARRL??  What is your real and true reason for complaining?  And why?

Since I am writing this from my office and using my commercial e-mail 
address/account, no doubt those of you who are objecting to the ARRL 
by line will also scold me for using a commercial e-mail account to 
post this --

What harm has any of this done -- other than to stir up everyone -- 
and cause ill-will among those hams who use the list --

Thank you --
