If my memory serves me, that isn't quite a direct quote, unless possibly there
was an amendation made to it later. I distinctly recall him giving a rough
guideline of a proper sale list length (because I counted the lines of mine
afterwards to make sure) of 25 lines and adding something about not posting the
exact same items for sale repeatedly. Not to be contentious, but it's hard to
get to "no sale lists, period" with qualifications like that. Can I get a
witness?
Anyone heard the new Matthew Thomas?
