Quite frankly, I don't see the problem. The whole point of this swap
group is to buy and sell ham gear. Why would you want to lessen the
number of items for sale here?



Ed WB6SAT


Probably because this group is NOT called alt.ebay.reflector

Just like the useless cb'ers with a callsign and their 2-meter hamshacks on
their hips ... there is the same mentality regarding ebay. Why should the lazy
buggers go look for anything themselves when they can sit here and get spoon
fed by their own ilk?

Go change yer 2 meters fer 3 meters and have fun with Howard Stern.

More Bullcrap !!

Go ahead, pull your pants down in public !

What an asinine answer, this guys a spammer your are only defending
because you buy from him

Your above statement is so dumb I don't know if I can explain it to
you. Yes, I defend him because I buy from him. I buy from others here on
the "SWAP" group too! Why are you even reading this group if you aren't
looking for ham gear to buy?

Hi All,
As with all things, there are 2 sides to the argument here. If I want to
selll
something on ebay, I list it there and don't post a teaser ad on the NG's.
If I
want to sell something on the NG's, I post it there.
That being said, I think that some folks DO overdo it by posting a LOT of
FA
ads on the NG's. Those folks should be restrained, but I'm not the
internet
police, so it isn't for me to enforce. I personally don't filter them out
as I
might just want to take a look. What I take exception to is folks that
post FS
ads, then it turns out to be an ebay plug. I am also not too keen on those
that
make a living out of buying these old rigs, then jacking up the price by
about
200% and re-selling. Those folks are out there in ALL areas, not just
boatanchors. All in all, I try to just take it in stride and appreciate
all the
good folks on the net, disregarding the creeps.
Just an opinion....
rgds,
Mark S.

Just an observation.....If I need some radio stuff, I look both here and
e-bay. In my view, my time is limited and valuable. Having FA stuff on here
wastes my time. Yes I use filters because I don't need to see FA stuff here
too. It seems to me that if somebody insists on using variations of "FA" in
his/her post subject lines, is in fact guilty of SPAMMING.

Thats an interesting observation! I find this circumstance to be just
the opposite for me. It is much easier to look here in this single
concise listing for ALL ham gear available, rather than having to hunt and
search through E-Bay listings, which are much more spread out than here.
Then again, I am usually looking at all gear.... browsing.... rather than
any particular piece of equipment.


Ed WB6SAT

Good gosh, so much anger out there!
Isn't there anything else more important out there to worry about?
Like if the terrorists should decide to blow something else up and kill more
of us?
Who really cares about FS / FA.
If you don't care to view the FA's, don't.
If you do care to view them, do.
It's that simple.
Grow up! Life is way to important!!

When I am looking for ham gear, I am looking for specific items. A simple
search on E-bay tells me if its there or not, then I leave it in a notify
mode... if one of what I am looking for shows up, I get an e-mail. This
saves me a lot of time. My time is worth $60/hr...what is *your* time
worth??

Because we can. I've subscribed to this newsgroup for about 8 years, the
whiners come and go. Meanwhile the rest of us use our friggin heads and
don't read the posts that don't interest us, period. Life is too short to
whine about such ridiculous nonsense.

My time is worth a $10,000 an hour but can't get anyone to pay me so
just enjoy myself looking at stupid posts in this newsgroups. I expect
you have given up sleeping also.
