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

[Carl Morgan]

Don't know, Dan, if you ever received an answer.  So far as I know, 
no one have ever been  chastised for looking for a "wanted item 
".  It seems, as long as you're working with a "FreeBay" concept, 
postings can go either way.
