[comp.sys.ibm.pc] For Sale Ad Naseum

wtm@neoucom.UUCP (Bill Mayhew) (01/24/89)

What aggrivates me is that there seem to be a handfull of posters
that seem to post math coprocessors and/or DRAM chips for sale on a
regular basis every week or two.  I did send some courteous email
to people I felt were overstepping noncommerciality a while back.
No sense in tieing up the net discussing that here.

Rather than subdividing comp.sys.ibm.pc, I'd like to see a
moderated misc.for-sale.pc, .electronics, or whatever.  I can
somewhat appreciate people putting their for-sale notices here
since they want to hit the correct target audiance.

I'm willing to overlook somebody selling off Uncle Fred's old PC
Junior one time, but multiple postings with the DRAM chip of the
week offer from one person repeatedly is unfair use my system to
make money for that poster.

I haven't read .ibm.pc and there were 304 articles.  Gosh, you guys
write a LOT!
