[FreeBay] Sincere Question About Posting Messages for "needed items?"

[Dan B Dyer Jr,/Danny]

First off, Happy 2015 to you all, and Thank you all, for this list!
Secondly, I'd like to ask a serious proceedural question.
Does it violate either "the spirit," or "the letter," of the list,
for a list member to post requests for items which are needed to either repair or otherwise complete a particular ham radio or related project?
I ask, because,
several years ago, when I
1, needed a hand mic for a radio I'd been given,
2, posted that need on list,
3, was graciously offered one,
4, subsequently _Thankfully obtained the mic and enjoyed the radio greatly!
5, (However, ere was at least one, and there may have been more than one, negative responses on list, to my "need request," being posted to the list.
6, I'm currently seeking parts, for 3, receivers and 1 HT in my collection.
7, I've posted to several sale and or swap lists, in search of either parts or parts radios, for which, I'm more than willing to pay a fair price!/And,
8, I do realize that "fair price, is a somewhat subjective definition
9, So far, no such prices for these items are in sight!
10, Most, if not all of us,
when in search of something,
are willing to
A, pay a fair cash price for it,
B, Swap something for it,
or C, Receive it as a gift from one who no longer wants it.
11, And In Any case, the item won't change hands unless the "seeker seeks, and the offerer offers.
12, Please let me know how to best proceed, that the list may function at its' best!!
And a Sincere Thanks To All Of You_ For All You Are And All You Do!
And Thanks For This List!!!
