Hey Brock....you're not the only one with Air Liquide to sell (even though I
haven't posted any 'cept "Live in New York" - and that only on my last list -
for ages). Anyway, I hesitated to say anything because I am prone to
posting/crossposting fs lists when I need a few $ myself (as has been the
case lately ;-\), but I only started this late Spring in doing so. I gotta
say that I look forward to reading sale lists and they are a big part of why
I enjoy IDM/Ambient/313 and the like.
Before anyone points me to Whitezone, I've been there for ages and love
it, too - but not everyone who posts posts there and I want a crack at
whatever is up for grabs. Not to be insensitive to people who dislike the
lists, but there is the delete button. As long as people stick to the basic
rules (which I believe Teep laid down) on sale lists, I really don't see a
problem. I've picked up a LOT of really ace material via the music lists for
which I otherwise would still be scrounging used bins or begging uninterested
sales clerks to order. I'm happy when I see 'em, regardless of how many AL
repeats I see. And I still have a copy of "Live in New York", if anyone's
interested :^D>
