> sorry if this doesn't interest you.. Stop posting your auction updates to the entire list. >From the idm.info Other administrativa: For the convenience of the listmembers and to ease the burden on our server and network, some restrictions on For Sale lists and Wanted lists (classifieds) are being enforced. It is okay to post short classifieds to the mailing list, but they must: 1. pertain to Intelligent Dance Music 2. be for personal transactions, not on behalf of a business 3. be not much longer than a screenful (25 lines) 4. not be repetitive (do not keep re-posting the same items) Auctions should be posted once to attract bidders, then be conducted in private thereafter. Any other classifieds, including long sale lists, should be announced as briefly as possible, with an invitation for interested parties to email you directly or visit a web location to receive the full information.
