You are right, of course. As this tread progressed, the word Ad was = used and I did not bother to verify the exact wording of the list policy = but was only referring to previous email. The spirit of the policy is = that advertisements are permitted as long as the subject line clearly = states so.

Policy#8 states - "Do not post = - major advertisement- emails to the list - use a 'sale' link". This = policy was later ammended on the list to require the word "AD" in the = subject line so that list members would be clear that the email = contained an ad. I think the problem arrose when some list members posted their = ebay auctions daily, spamming the list. For example one member in = particular would say........ "I have ebay auctions ending in 7 days" then "I have ebay = auctions ending in 6 days", then "I have ebay auctions ending in 5 = days", etc etc. You get the idea. Members won't even quit fighting and using vulgar language on this = list which is a much much bigger problem than the occasional ebay ad = announcement. As long as the word "AD" appears in the subject, I do not see a = problem as this allows all list members to decide for themselves if they = wish to open an "AD" email. Randy >From: "Ing.
