Hi Gil,

I did sign up once apon a time to the LINUX list.  Wow, what a 
mistake.  Hundreds of messages asking the same questions over and 
over.  No one bothering to read the messages of others.  I 
unsubscribed after only one week.

Speaking of ebaY, the new ebay is quite efficient and easy to buy and 
sell items such as the TTY caps and T-shirts I am selling right now. 
In the past some buyers were "teken to the cleaners" me included.  My 
clients and I lost over $3,000 to scam artists.  There are many 
protections in place now.  I have now over 1,100 positive 
transactions and only one negative post - AAARRGGHH

I think Greenkeys has a good balance.  Only a few basic rules 
regarding no attachments and plain text only.

Thanks for your dedication,

Don
