I happen to think selling things on an email list or a newsgroup is wrong unless sales is the specific reason for the list or group. I bet if somebody could dig deep enough to find the charter of this newsgroup they'd find sales specifically forbidden. Other, newer groups I participate in expressly forbid sales, and anyone who refuses to respect that hears about it publicly and loudly. Benny Reb
