Glenn Ashmore lifted the trapdoor, peered around
and wrote:
Because of design changes and over-purchases anyone building a large
boat will have some extra material that others in the group could use.
While I completely agree with the ban on commerical posting, prohibiting
an anouncement of the availability of this material eliminates some of
the value of this newsgroup.
It's a long establishe Usenet tradition for group members to offer for
sale, items we may be interested in - the distinction being that these are
private sales, and not in pursuit of a commercial enterprise.
Most ngs also get considerable advice from interested traders who just join
in because it's their area of expertise. Those ppl are perfectly entitled
to include a link to their website in a sig.
Complaining to an ISP about all but the most flagrant breaches of policy,
is futile .... and there is certainly no "illegality"
