Then start a mailing list. As was mentioned in the original reply, information postings of "I've had good luck and low prices with such-n-such" are ok.

I don't think this is a problem. No, it is a problem. One person sees a price listing. He cracks open his AmigaWorld and hit hot little hands spend an hour typing in all the prices saying "look here, xxxx has cheaper prices -- see!?!?!" I've seen it happen before, and it's not pretty. -- John M.
