WHOA!
It appears that my posting struck someone's nerve. Apologies, but I did
first check the following newsgroups for OTHER for sale items, and of
course, I saw plenty, even some, GASP, on the apparently much-hated eBay.
alt.radio.scanner (no charter or FAQ listed recently)
rec.radio.amateur (no charter or FAQ listed recently)
rec.radio.scanner (no charter or FAQ listed recently)
I found no charters for any of these newsgroups. Usually, newsgroups that do
not allow FA: and FS: postings state that in their newsgroup's charter quite
frequently. I guess that using eBay is forbidden in the opinions of "Robert
Hawk" & " who feel it is perfectly appropriate to use
profanity because they cannot think of a simple way to express their
discontent with the posting of items for sale. Pathetic.
Clearly, these same people didn't see fit to FLAME the posting titled:
FOR SALE : ICOM PCR-1000
Which happens to be - are you ready - AN AUCTION TOO!!!
As a gesture of good faith, I will refrain from posting items on "YOUR"
newsgroup in the future, but of course, I only have this one scanner for
sale, so it is likely I would not have anything else to post for sale or
auction on any radio or scanner related newsgroups.
Again, I am truly and genuinely sorry if I caused anyone any undue grief or
hardship, but in the future, I would also advise your flaming EVERY SINGLE
FS: or FA: posting that has an eBay link within the posting. The least you
could do is not be so hypocritical. It makes you look so unintelligent and
biased.
