Though I agree in part that E-bay and private ads shouldn't be in "this" type of news group, I'd much rather see them listed so long as they have FA/FS, etc as a header than ads for sexual drugs, devices, porn, etc. At least the radio gear IS on topic. I've put ads here in the past myself for parts I felt some may be interested in. Some which were for older gear. I too have seen some interesting ads in here which caught my eye. As any and all have the option to do, I CAN SKIP THEM if not interested. Just my 2 cents. G.W. What happens is others see the FA and FS ads and assume it must be OK to post such, do so, and the group tends to become more of a place for ebay sellers to hawk their wares than a discussion group. That is what happened to the boatanchor group, very little discussion about boatanchors there anymore because the ebay jokers insist on using it to hawk their ebay ads instead of placing those ads in one of the .swap groups where they belong. Now anyone who wishes to discuss boatanchors does not bother with the group because they know it is full of ebayers trying to get another buck for their junk on ebay. So if you go to the boatanchors group and skip the FA/FS ads, there isn't anything left thanks to those who choose exercise their 'rights' and ignore FAQ's and Charters. |

I think people do this because they are insensitve, crude and
inconsiderate, plus they may be greedy and selfish too. I think that's why they post E-Bay junk here. It does make me wonder how effective E-Bay is though, if it needs the extra "help".

Don't forget the many which are posted repeatedly for the same item, or the hourly updates on when the auction closes. My idea would be to have a special Website for all of the eBay auctions, and the people who want to look at auction items could go there, and others could choose not to. They could call it ebay.com or something, have a search engine, and all sorts of other features. What a great idea, why did someone not think of this before? That way, people with six or more working brain cells would be able to go there and just put in what they were interested in and find it then there would be no need to spam DISCUSSION newsgroups with ebay ads. But even is such a place existed, the ebay clowns don't think others have the capability of using such a sophisticated search engine so it behooves them to make sure we know about their auction through the newsgroups. |

I just exchanged some emails with the owner of this email address, and he
says he didn't post these messages from radioman: "I did not post that message. Someone must have used my Email address. I have never visited the Newsgroup you mentioned and wouldn't even know how to find it. The radioman Email address is one of my Email addresses,but I seldom ever use it." So what's worse, posting auction listings on this NG or being a fraud and an identity thief? "radioman" wrote in message ... Why I ask????????????????? |

Hi Mark, I am the one that posted the message. When I tried to get the
radioman email address it said it was used by another so I grabbed radioman2 but didnt get the 2 after radioman correct in my newgroup program. Sorry but it was just a typo and a honest mistake and I'm not trying to be anyone else.
