Well, I thought I'd un*sub*'d properly from the list temporarily but must've
sent the wrong command, or none at all. Anyway, I'm still here...for now.
At last, someone has figured out I was joking! When I initiated the "Put me
on your private 'For Sale' e-mail list", I was being a bit facetious, altho'
it was to make a point. (Granted, my spoof wasn't nearly as clever as
Gary's recent "free OM gear" prank.)
The huge number of listfolk who've come out of the woodwork to second my
motion should sufficiently indicate that we want OM goodies offered. And I
enjoyed the e-mail from Tom in which the "TO:" column was longer than the
text! LOL!
Giles has described perfectly sensible guidelines for appropriately trading
via the list. He has the unenviable task of attempting to moderate this
generally ebullient anarchy. Why spoil his fun by trying to do his job for
him?
Speaking of jokes getting out of hand, judging from the cover of Rolling
Stone magazine it appears Al Gore will need to pay his poll tax this year.
