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.

Ebay sellers are responsible for the ruin of a lot of newsgroups. They
don't care about abiding by any FAQs or Charters, they just want to try
to dig another buck out of their auction.

Center zeroing meter??

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".

Happy Holidays to all...Howard

Because this isn't the group for that, that's why. The groups are
divided into topics so that people have an idea what might be in them.

Why the heck not? As long as one uses FA in the subject line.
I know some folks are touchy about things like that.
I picked up a Yaesu FT-847 on Ebay via a post here.
I paid $675 for it on ebay about a year ago.
The rig is flawless and works great!!
Keep the ebay posts coming!!!

Someone else will be wondering why the heck they can't post ebay ads for
their Hummel figurines soon!

But then again, some people enjoy spam too! 8^)
